experimental airplane.

I can't give you the numbers because my adrenaline was running kinda high at
the time, but my engine died at 1800 ft above the airport on my first three
flights (fuel vent problem). I got about 3/4 around the pattern each time,
lining up with the runway and the problem was slowing it down and crab
accounts of your flights, Larry. It gave me the incentive
to continue on til the problem was solved.
Thanks,

wheel without moving the main gear aft.

surization. I've put about 20 hours on my bird since with no further
problems.
It seems that the AOA was the key, and the bow wave over the cowling at speed
produced a negative pressure area at the fuel cap.

The chute takes 1 second to deploy at a max speed of 140mph.
Hope this helps, write me off line if you have any questions or need more
detail.

Good luck, Don

ieces of 2x4 in front and behind the mains
to prevent rolling and strapped the wheels down with 1" ratchet straps from
Harbor Freight.
The plane rode well and arrived with no damage. These boat trailers sell
locally for about $400.
Good luck,
