Looks nice. How was it? Something about the 330 airframe gets me. Gary what are you running in this one for power? Is it too hefty for electric? Can you crank on it as hard as an EF?

Off to a crappy start... Secraft fuel pump is dead... The motor won't turn over... Can hear it try. Damn!
Had to call the wife to drive 25 minutes with my hand pump. She's not happy
My wife's reply to a request for a field delivery would not be repeatable here. Consider yourself lucky.
I bought this MPI hand pump shown in the photo. I can't get the thing to self-prime. So I need to suck fuel into the pump, then I can pump gas. Is that just normal for this type of hand pump?

Marc,
I had trouble getting mine to prime sometimes too, and then someone at the field told me to lower the hand pump down... That when I was holding it at waist level it couldn't draw the fuel up that high to prime.
Have you tried priming down low near the ground?

Thanks Gary. Lowering the pump helped. I could see the fuel get to the top of the can. But I just realized that I have to crank VERY fast for 10 revs or so to get the gas to the pump. Then once I feel the gas in the gears of the pump I can slow down. One more problem solved. I appreciate it. No more taste of gas on my lips while I'm flying.
