Default RE: perry pump for OS 120 AX - does it help

Engine mounts look good, it sure is nice just to be able to knock out a pair out at work.

Perfect spot for the pressure tap on the 75.

Let us know how it works out.
Hey Stuntpilot51 , I'm almost ready to test my perry out. Took a while and lots of motivation to fix my Edge but its done . I went anal and made a hatch to get to the motor mount screws and made a removable fuel tank craddle with foam padding .

I have a Question on the fuel tank . The instructions on the Perry say to use really flexible line so on a long nose down it won't run the pump dry . I have never seen a tank big enough or line flexible enough to reach the front of the tank in a nose down . If it did I would think it would kink or wrap around the pressure line . How do you do your tanks internal fuel line ? Does it go almost to the back of the tank or do you shorten it so the clunck is in the center of the tank . Mine is in the rear of the tank now and can hit the top of the tank if inverted . I like doing blenders and spins and don't want to run out of fuel ,but then again I never have been nose down long enough to kill a motor on any other plane .
Maybe i'm using the wrong fuel line in the tank . I use medium size or standard fuel tubing .
