Does anyone know any details about the Valdosta crash?
All I've read here is that he had an electrical problem and hit a tree
trying to get it on the ground.
If anyone knows any more than that about the crash I for one would be
interested.
Did gas have anything to do with him having to get
If you're installing an emergency dump valve, does the size of the header
tank matter? Seems to me it's the emergency dump mechanism that improves
safety more than the small size of the tank. I guess a 12 gallon tank will
take 4 times as long to dump as a 3 gallon tank, but how long is that?

With enough time having passed since the the KR2 crash in Valdosta to
show respect and sensitivity, I want to discuss a concern. I would
prefer to have wing tanks with a small (say 3 gallon) header tank up
front, to try and avoid a similar major fire in a crash, should

Guess I better clarify that . . . my "humor" doesn't come through very
well most of the time. Plus, the board is rife with misunderstandings
just now.

Ray,
You are referencing the BSA's guidelines. However, the EAA has no such
restrictions. Last I heard, the BSA didn't operate the Young Eagles program.
Instead, if they choose to participate, they are under self imposed
restrictions.

It's not 100% bogus. if you are flying scouts,BSA guidelines will not allow
them to fly in experimentals. As a scoutmaster, a pilot and one day completed

My 2 cents worth. The term "Certified" is often used interchangeably when
discussing factory built and experimental aircraft. It seems to be a
confusion of licensing Category versus Manufacturing Standards. Factory built
"Certified" aircraft MUST comply with the "TYPE CERTIFICATE DATA SHEET"

If it makes you feel any better, I never "conditioned" my Cleveland pads or

to hold as good as the first taxi tests. I personally wouldn't j

And, as long as you mentioned it, FAA regulations do not actually require

airplanes. However, builders would throw safety to the wind if they didn't.

In many ways they actually magnify these traits. OK, enough of this
