My Bellanca super Viking had one instrument to the intake manifold in for emergency only. Full throttle I had almost no vacuum. Only drove my turn and bank. Not enough constant vacuum on your intake. Most airplanes with a full set of instruments requires 5 inches minimum. Sent from my iPhone

The electric vacuum pumps (for the brakes) from the mid-90's 'Vettes are about the best out there. I put one on my Mustang II. Very durable. Not too expensive. David M. On 01/25/2016 10:41 AM, Dave Acklam via KRnet wrote: > Use 12v vac pump?? > > Manifold pressure isn't a constant enough so

I think I like the idea of an electric vacuum pump. It's easy to have a backup, and keeps working even when the engine doesn't. On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 10:41 AM, Dave Acklam via KRnet < krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > Use 12v vac pump?? > > Manifold pressure isn't a constant enough source

Looks like VW/Audi and Volvo had there pumps also. Not all are what I could call cheap. Quick look at ebay has new piston pump style ones at $200-$300ish and the rotary style European car style ones are used for $25-$75ish. I don't know what the specs are on each of these, but interesting to

If you hand prop correctly, it is not a problem. You should NOT hook your fingers around the blade. You press your hand against the face of the blade. In case of a backfire your hand won't get jerked into the prop or break your hand/fingers. Most people incorrectly hook their finger tips aro

Using the vacuum from the intake manifold is something that used to be installed as an aftermarket *EMERGENCY*?suction source for some light aircraft. However, it should be noted that it was for emergency use only, with good reason. Your vacuum instruments are labeled as requiring 4-1/2 - 5 in

I certainly would not weld up a hole in a wing attach fitting. There is no telling what would have in the way of small voids and/or cracks in the weld, soft or hard and brittle spots from contamination, etc. If it was welded you would need to remove any plating, use a 4130 welding rod, put on som

I highly recommend against welding the WAFs. You will change the Temper of the 4130 steel. You need not worry about the strength of the WAFs, they will outlast the spars. In strength and time. The connection between the sets are shear load. (Not friction). If you will insert a cotter pin throu

Thanks for all the replies I now get what everyone means by 'shear joint', and that one should NOT weld anything unless you want to go through a whole hell-of-a-lot of extra work fixing the metallurgy of the resulting part. So far, the choices everyone has posted seem to boil down to: 1) Mak

The original wings are questionable, with big spar 'bumps' in the airfoils (looks like foam and glass 'settled' while curing), some large delam/unwetted-glass spots, and a nice thick coat of housepaint over it all... I can fix them, but its almost bad enough to scrap everything but the spars thems

The theory is good. But it takes too much power to spin a vacuum pump to the rpm required to operate in the proper range. The weight of the electric motor required to produce enough power to spin a pump, and the amps required, is not worth it.?There are electric vacuum pumps on the market for

And I should mention that there are gobs of extra material on the main WAFs, so oversize bolts will work fine. The aft WAFs are far tighter, and that probably won't work there. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
