Re: X Air Hanuman: engine-out
I suspect it was carb ice, the first Jabiru powered std xair I built used to stop everytime when you closed the throttle on approach once we installed carb heat it sorted it out.

Re: X Air Hawk fuel tank 'shedding' particles into fuel
good to know Sir!
...If this X Air Hawk/Hanuman wasn't fabric covered, I'd replace with a 100HP Rotax and put amphibious floats and keep it for life!

Re: X Air Hawk fuel tank 'shedding' particles into fuel

Re: X Air Hawk fuel tank 'shedding' particles into fuel
The jabiru 2200 uses a bing 54 carb. The nominal pressure for them is 1-4 psi. They need to be fed, but anything over 4 psi can cause the carb to flood.

Hello again Gents,
I cannot find any information regarding the GPH (gallons per hour) or PSI min. & max. for our electric fuel pumps.
