Also, I have been thinking about the fuel return from the fuel rails to the
fuel tank.I will have two fuel tanks, I was thinking about have separate
fuel pumps and filters for each tank.

But, after the fuel gos to the fuel rail how to make sure the fuel is
returned to that tank.I do not want to run fuel to the cockpit where I sit,
as I am building a canard pusher.

I was at a rod and custom auto show last week-end and saw a few rods with
nitrous oxide injection.

They have small solenoids to direct flow to the engine.I was wondering if we
can use them to direct flow of fuel back to the tanks?

Any ideas?

Quickkit sell a solenoid valve (double valve -- one valve for pressure and one for
the return line) to its kit builders -- the Glass Goose.

There is a Glass Goose in Lakeland Fl with a rotary that must be getting close to flying.
What have you heard Tracy?


I  haven't heard that Harold Wharton's (Lakeland) plane is close yet.  He's a very long-term project.  There is one in south Florida that is about ready, however.  Mine is still 1-2 years out - just now closing my wings.
