No more hand cranking thanks to Jason B.

He gave us the pump assembly,now it's finally put to good use.

Sorry Jason it's pumping gas and not Kero.

I made the base to fit a different jug, that's why it's a little big. I used a spring clip for the top holding bracket and servo tape to hold it to the jug. I can't wait to use it, going to be nice to flip a switch and watch the fuel go in instead of turning that hand crank.

Jim can the mounting ear be TIG welded back on?

I had a DA50 with a couple of rough spots (bought used) and it's still running strong over a year later. The bearings should be sealed and don't use fuel to lube. Front bearing anyway.

I was wondering if that could be welded.
Might be worth a try.

I'll bring engine with me to the field this weekend and let you check out the bearings.
I just got clearance to get out to SAM... 1 day this weekend.
Things have been a little better since the Doc prescribed him a mild sedative.

Kinda takes the "edge" off.... it's almost like he has a small BUZZ going....

he is very pleasant and manageable now !

welding would be cheaper than a new crankcase

I wanted to see this bird fly, but had to leave before hand.

Great looking plane.

That's cool. I live in Oviedo and would like to see one fly. I just got in to the hobby a little over a month ago and bought the electric Parkzone Corsair. Nothing like yours but love the way they look. And I'm a warbird fan.

TEKE · 03-04-2009, 09:54 PM

Bobo you should have stayed at the field after dropping off the buckets . I was in the area and met Phill and the gang for wings. It turned into a three hour BS session. It was a good time the stories never seemed to end.

Fishdeth · 03-04-2009, 10:21 PM
