Status: online 		R T W - My opinion (worth 3 cents today due to inflation) is that you should start your own thread. We'd be happy to read it and help if you ask but let's leave this one "pure" if ya know what I mean.

Status: offline 		RTW, Sounds good! Seen a few flying, but never seen one built. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Mountaineer, anything new on the 4*? Got the weight(s) figured out?
(Still laughing about the wing thing )

Status: offline 		I've got everything balanced out...so that problem is solved. However, another one has crept up.

I'm getting bubbles in my fuel line. I've got an inline fuel filter on the line, the tank is well packed in foam, the prop is balanced....I can't think of anyting else to do to fix this problem. You guys have any ideas?

Here are some pics of my fuel tank install for reference.

Status: online 		Are they affecting the running of the motor in flight. Sometimes you get more vibration/shaking on the ground than in the air, especially with 4 strokes. If the engine is OK in flight, I wouldn't worry about it.

Status: offline 		I didn't notice an issue with it during the maiden, although I never really ran it at full throttle during the maiden either, and that is when the bubbles seem to impact the running of the engine the most.

I had a fairly rich setting, and this afternoon, was attempting to lean it out a bit, but I couldn't get a consistent tach reading on it because of the bubbles would cause it to lean out and the RPM would fluctuate at full throttle.
