Default RE: Is my UAT mounted ok?


ORIGINAL: Gordon Mc

I'm not sure about any sideways orientation issues, but my immediate concern was how tight a turn is the fuel line going to have to do ? It's hard to tell from the pic just how close the fuselage side is to the nipple on the UAT ; if you end up doing a fairly hard radius there, you might have issues with the line kinking a bit.

Yes, The picture is somewhat decieveing. The nipple is at a lower elevation than the lip you see. At least a good 1 1/4" to make the turn.

I don't think Im going to change the orientation of the UAT, I think I'll give it a shot as is first.
