Skee Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Nop, different shape. I think i found out where they are supposed to fit, they cover the parachute bridles in the roof against the wing. I felt really dumb yesterday when i tried to circulate fuel but pump did not deliver, so i sucked and nothing happened, until i noticed wrong polarity on pumps, anyway fuel taste awful. It seems i have ordered wrong pumps, they deliver 140L/h@4bar, i need 120l/h@3bar, how great is that, i took bosch article number and crossreferenced it to a another brand and got wrong, so now i got 2 new genuine bosch pumps on its way. Installed a halon fire extinguisher . Also got my personal manufact sign up. Handbrake is finaly up, a nice piece of mahogny. I got the 3 atch lock fitted, cant really understand, it wouldnt let me get the back side of the door all the way in? Closed up the wings and installed the tank breathers. The radiator opening got some nice cooling guidance.
Kyle Communications Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 What are those tank cap breathers? 1
Skee Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 What are those tank cap breathers? Tank vents, they let air in and little out and close when the fuel flow out.
Ultralights Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Tank vents, they let air in and little out and close when the fuel flow out. intersting, how do they work?
Skee Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 intersting, how do they work? Well its a flow valve, i can suck allot of air in , blow very little out until it closes when i blow to much, see the tiny hole....
rankamateur Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Does the hole face into the air flow then to give you your positive pressure in the tanks? That could work the same as the angle cut on the bottom of the supplied fuel breather tubes.
Skee Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 Does the hole face into the air flow then to give you your positive pressure in the tanks? That could work the same as the angle cut on the bottom of the supplied fuel breather tubes. No idea, do i need positive pres? So ive been having problem with my fuel preassure, after pumps it was 3,7 bar, so i found out i had diff manuf 4 bar pumps and they should be 3 bars, so i wasted another 120 euro and bought two genuine pump only to find out i still got 3,7 after fuel pumps, on a whim i measured after engine and got 2,5bar at the fuel regulator. why? And for some reason my efis measures 1 bar wrong?!? adn there is no settings to calibrate it? what on earth, am i not ment to fly this year? Another annoying thing, i have 2 flow meters to, one ahead of engine and one after so i can see total usage, flow meters 1 & 2 work perfect on input 1 on engine monitor but i get nothing on input 2? so therefore i cant see total usage, MGL has a efis simulator and i tried doing the same there, and get the same problem, now i know it isnt user error. Ohh and does anyone know why my efis fuel pressure meter shows 1 bar too much?
rankamateur Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 The tube through the wing is cut at an angle. The angle can be adjusted to vary the pressure in the tank right down to negative pressure not letting the fuel feed out of the tank if you cut it the wrong way.
Skee Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 So i had som issues with my fuelsystem, it was a hoseclamp for a firesleeve that blocked the incoming line, so now i have bought two new fuel pumps extra for no need and moved sensors around on the fuel line for no need, allot of work. I took a baloon to leaktest the pitot and static and all is well, 184 km/h in the hangar is nice. I also mounted those two consoles where i think they are supposed to be. Also i copied Mark Kyle on his Builder pilot sign.
Skee Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Had a bad T coupling in the water coolingsystem. So much shit to fix....
Skee Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 So all the moist during the winter showed me that the cockpit structure and engine mount is bare steel, har do rub it all and paint it. Fuck
Skee Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Some small sign attached, thinking of getting registration marking up in the coming few days.
Skee Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Seatbelts in And some markings. Bottomplate has camlocs, And som stripes. And finaly, first engine run, did not get any good readings on oil pressure so have to look it over.

Geoff13 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I am interested how it will go with the D Motor in the long run. ditto
Kyle Communications Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I had to muck around with my Rdac for the oil pressure on mine to get it right. I think it was the 5v and where I connected the resistor. 1
Skee Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Ran the engine for a good 15 minutes, oil pressure went up to 5 bar and then settled to 2,1bar as temp went up, oiltemp didnt go over 68C, water went up to 101C then i turned on the watercabin heater and temp went down a few degrees, the funnel for the watercooler on the cowl is missing so, really nice...
Skee Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Its now ready, now lets begin final checks and flight testing. 1
rankamateur Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Thought that was blood on the floor but there is no crime scene tape so you must have got away with it.
Skee Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Thought that was blood on the floor but there is no crime scene tape so you must have got away with it. Actually is is blood from my aircraft (oil)
Skee Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Woo hoo! So close, do have permit to fly? No do i need that? ,, kiddin ,, no not yet, there are some rigorous checks and groundtests before that shit can happen.
Kyle Communications Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 How long do you think before you commit aviation?
Skee Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 How long do you think before you commit aviation? youve must have misunderstood me, this is just a ornament.
Kyle Communications Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 its a bit large for the loungeroom.....you got it out of there a year ago :)
