Does it matter how long I make the suction line for the fuel pump? I'd like to keep the UAT at the cockpit where I can see it and have the pump in the engine bay - probably 18" (500mm) away.
the shorter the better.
if you have a airbrake installed move it there.
if the fuel lines are to long you will start cavitating fuel.
the turbine is very fast in acceleration and can cause to flame out if it creates a vacuum due to the lenght of the line.s
keep the fue lines to 6mm festo all the way from the tanks to the fuel pump..
before you make your first flight , also test that the acceleration is correct , since you you have now a thrust pipe.
i suggest you set it to about 15 for the first few flights and let the ECU auto calibrate itself to the new tanks and fuel line,s.
it could happen that when you land you will have a high iddle , due to the "learning"curve of the ecu.
what is always do is fly , Trim , Glide
basicly i trim the aircraft , go high , set to iddle and let it settle aq little bit.
after you feel confident land it.......
yes i also had a eurosport.....
