RE: Problem with MVVS 58
The balsa box should be inside the fuselage, not under the cowl. Inside the cowl pressure differences play havoc with your fuel delivery sttings. There should be no holes in the box.
BTW,
The fuel tank is very far aft, and the tank vent line exit is very far forward. The vent line should exit as close to the tank as possible. Just a thought.
