I think I’ll have to take mine out tomorrow, first no rain day in a week here in not so sunny CA.

I’m having a hard time seeing the “lines” but on my Mephisto I had my wing tube receiver crack from “normal” use. I strengthened the tube with fiberglass as best as I could and also reinforced the...

I got my UAT from MAP Products, two inputs and one output plus fill line. Everything is 6mm. Back then it was a special order. KT 320 BTW.

You may be right DW. I have always gone with the assumption (!) that a CG that won't allow the Mephisto to sit on its tail is forward. (And pretty much any time the plane does its own thing un...

Where is your vent located on the fuselage bottom? Do you have the mod with a "cheater hole" type vent on the bottom near the turbine intake? On my Mephisto I would never know fuel was coming out the...

1. I have my dual tanks plumbed to a two input MAP header tank with 6mm tubing, then from the MAP to the KT320 fuel pump via a 6mm line. No issues.
2. I think two gyro systems are pretty popular....

What turbine do you have? If it’s a KT320 you want as much drag as possible to counter the idle thrust. I have about 150mm. I like it that way.

Yup I informed Ray L. Thanks again for your help. I may glue ply plates over those holes since the ply (and CF) on the side we can’t see is gone. The resin in the tubes is drying now.
