Weight and balance, ballast, trim when flying alone
Thomas Borchert writes:
Just looked, and the MSFS Baron does NOT have a BOTH selector position. The real one doesn't either, neither does the Bo. The Dreamfleet Bonanza has such a position, for reasons previously explained. The Dreamfleet Baron has a system that feeds each engine from its respective tank(s), with the option of a cross-feed if required. As far as I know, this is the same as the real thing. |

I want you to do an easy experiment that will show you the problem with a non gravity feed system that uses a "both" position. Take a glass of water and two drinking straws. Put one of the straws in the water and hold the other out side of the glass. Now put both straws in your mouth and suck. Unless you are doing something to block the straw that isn't in the water you will find it very hard to get a drink. The same thing happens with a non gravity feed fuel system in the "both" mode. Add a fuel pump. |

Add a fuel pump. You sucking provides the analog to the fuel pump. Andy |

Heh heh. You're assuming his brain works n some sort of logical fashion. I think merely being outside of his bedroom would lock his head up Bertie |

46.128: Bertie the Bunyip wrote Xactly. I know of an RV6 where they installed a selector with a both" position "in the interest of safety" How it got past the DAR I have no idea, but it crashed on it's second flight........ I have lots of time in YAK-52s, no tank selector at all, just a fuel ON/OFF switch. Works very well. Must have some system to get around the problem. It has wing tanks? Or dos it feed to the engine out of a header tank which is in turn fed by the wing tanks? Bertie |
