Fuel filters from now on.

Thanks,
I’ intend to run the engine outside of the airplane to see where the air bubbles coming from. As more I think about it I don’t like the easy Sport 40 to begin with

I decided to avoid filter and put the needle up straight in order not to put it through side of the fuse and as I’m looking at the easy sport, it’s too tight behind the motor and to put a filter there would be an engineering challenge.
All this operation would require to get the motor out and if I’m already doing it I might as well put it on a new plane….
So I ordered another midstar kit that will fly with the current accessories and filter!
current flying season is over as I look at the weather outside.

Thanks
Alex
