Reshaped my clunk
« on: December 02, 2017, 06:51:33 PM »
I ran my little Norvel .061 today. The clunk seemed to be too fat to get fuel when the tank runs low. So I chocked it up in my drill press mill and shaped it into a cone. It seems to fit a little better in the "corner". We'll see tomorrow. This will be my leprechaun stunt entry at whittier narrows in the toys for tots event.

Dane,
Nice idea. never had a problem w/2 oz Sullivan cylindrical tank on the Baby Pathfinders but willing to try this.
 Let me know how it works out.

It's actually the little baby bottle 1oz round tank. I've never used one before this plane. It's ok, it ran. I was just thinking this would keep the feed constant. I'll get pics of the tank and plane up in a little while.
