KR> error in PSRU ratio on web site.

Sorry folks. My PSRU tooth ratio is actually 38:29 or 1.31:1 not 1.8:1 as a friend has politely pointed out. More haste less speed. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 Australia ph:61 2 6658 4767 m:0403 432179 email:john_martind...@bigpond.com

KR> Spar holes

Hi Bob Depending on the extent of misalignment, I reckon you would be better off fill welding the bracket and redrilling it to suit the current spar holes. This would probably be easier than redrilling and plugging the spar which I presume is already skinned. Tuppence for what it is worth. John

FW: KR> Pitot static port

You can tinker/fine tune your static port with a very small blob of epoxy on the fuselage forward or behind it. Only needs to be 1/16th inch or so to vary the pressure. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 Australia ph:61 2 6658 4767 m:0403 432179 email:john_martind...@bigpond.com

KR> Fuel tank pick up and vent

Given that 32mm is the diameter of the Rochester carb on just one cylinder (3) bank on the stock car engine, my feeling is that a single 32mm carb would be too small to feed both banks (6) especially at higher revs. What do Aerocarb say? John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 Australia

KR> Fuel tank pick up and vent

I've had no experience with Aerocarbs. I suspect it might given they are reputedly a calibrated "fuel leak" but I don't know. Guess it depends on the diameter of the vent and thus the amount of pressurisation. Someone else might chime in or you should contact the manufacturer for the definitive op
