I have been a passenger in the factory XL "Childs Play" when Scott Swing did a roll. I have never tried it and probably never will. Definitely get aerobatic training before you do.

>>> I am working on the retract system on 5164U and I am having some weird issues. Everything was working OK but then it started having run on after the gear is up and locked. The pump keeps running and the reservoir start to have frothy in it. And now the there is the added problem of the gear goes down upand the pump is still engergized. This is a 1996 top loader. The pressure sensors have two adjuster screws and I don't have a clue as t/o which to adjust for what. Each sensor has two screws. I can see labels UP and DN. As I recall, down is the retraction and up is the gear down. How much adjustment should I expect? One turn counterclockwise? Two?. Any suggestions as to what is going on?

> Similar but I think more like 45 degree back. Another choice with its own problem but a consideration would be recessed groove in the lower cowl lined with stainless and carbon so the pipes exit outside into the groove parallel to the cowl for 2 or three inches. Slight fairing upwind to promote a vacuum and allow the exit to be small enough to get the cowl off. Just musing. Everything has negatives but a thought. ?

>>> Would any of the six-cylinder guys with three straight down pipes per side comment on thoughts of adding 90's at the exit? I'm thinking this is the most KISS principle method. Or is anyone considering this? I think the three pipes straight down with 90's and slight modification on the cowling might fit the ticket for me.
