I put an 0200 in my KR and I had to run A fuel pump. Climbing out the engine
would starve.

What's y'alls cross wind limit? Tri-gear, tail wheel type of brakes?
I've got nose wheel, Matco. The other day while taxi testing in 15-20
direct cross wind
it weather vaned pretty bad and left brake wasn't enough to keep it
straight.

I have a 9-1/2 gallon header tank, then transfer fuel from the wings to the
header periodically in flight. I have run the header down to nearly empty, and
flow tested it at high angles of attack. I've never had a flow problem in over
1200 hours. But, whether you need a pump or not is really g
When I was based at your airport, I limited myself to 15 kts crosswind
component overall. On take off, more than 10 kts from the left was challenging
as you had to keep bumping the right brake intermittently to keep the plane
headed down the runway. Around 40-45 kts, the rudder authority becom
With experience and in a 2S nose dragger, a 25 mph crosswind at 45 degrees was
a piece of cake for me. When I arrived at the 2012 KR Gathering I made my
shortest landing ever in N886MJ. The weather was not good that day as a matter
of fact I landed 30 miles northwest of Mt Vernon because I had

I quit going to Sun and fun when the state of Florida decided to run
registrations anything that had been flying within the first six months they
send a tax bill to at 6% I’m not sure how many people paid that. they
eventually change the law to exclude temporary flight into Florida like they

Vic, I gravity feed fuel from my header tank to the carb on my O-200 powered
KR. My header tank is sitting on the bottom shelf that is behind the firewall.
I can run it totally dry with the M/S carburetor with no problems. That being
said, other than some high speed passes with steep climbs I'm

Hello O-200 Guys. Do I need a fuel pump if I only have a header tank?

I don't have a header tank at all and run 2 electric fuel pumps.

Wouldn't one want a pressure regulator somewhere between the fuel pump
and the carb? Maybe the carbs you're referring to have one built in to
them, such as a float
Something that can be even more of a concern than directional control is
having a gust lift you off the runway before the plane is ready to fly.
I'm not sure why my rudder would be any different than anyone else's, but
it's always been sufficient to counter any wind no matter how strong.

Thanks for the info guys. I’ll install a fuel pump.
