RE: Trainer maiden flight (crash)
I have a 5 chanel JR. I think the instructor said the display was reading 9.4. He took it over to his truck and plugged it in. I still think I'll buy some new fuel. The pressure line should be the top line out of the tank correct? When I pulled the tank out both lines were side by side, horizontal, not vertical. The feed hose inside the tank was moving freely and resting on the bottom. From the diagrams I've seen, The Lines are usually lined up vertically. So I'm wondering is the tank was installed side ways. There was plenty of room the flip it side ways so they are vertical, so that is what I did. She is near ready to fly again. I'm going to reinforce the engine cowl (firewall) with some balsa strips to to strengthen it up. There are no grooves that I could see in the fuse, for it to set it. Other than that the repairs have been easy. Can't wait to take it up again. Way I see it, this has been a major learning experience and I'm kinda glad it happened.
