Good morning Dave,
For your information, the air system was purchased from:
http://www.jimkimballenterprises.com/h_ ... moose.html
It was physically rearranged a bit for installation and an isolation valve
was installed just down stream of the tank.
Don, thank you very much for this excellent clarification. I've just about got
it. It's
interesting to see a few different approaches to the same goal. Two more
questions
There are definitely different approaches. For example some Yak guys like to
have their back up tank plumbed into the system so that it is filled by the
compressor some like it independent ... etc. Matter of taste and outlook on
the pro's and con's. That is what is so great about building experimental.
With or without sprinkles! The Yak list has been a good source of
information. You can sign up at:

I use the digest form. For electrical try AeroElectric.
if I may. Near the bottom center of your photo, it says in small
print...pressure relief valve.
What is that referring to, please?
This valve will automatically release pressure if the system reaches a
preset point. I think it is set for aprox 800 PSI.
Also, it looks as if the item on the lower
left labelled as the ...Dump valve, water and compressor air when tank
full...is to be set to the normal 800 or 850 lbs and it will continue to
dump overboard any accumulated water or oil in the whole air start system as
well as >the continuous excess air from the compressor?
This valve is controlled by the pilot with a cockpit switch. After your tank
is full to say 800 PSI (will lower to normal 750ish on cooling) you open
this valve and the dump compressor air overboard. As to accumulated water or
oil, its location in the system is such that it will probably do little for
these which are down stream of the valve. Kevin Kimball says that in his
experience if the valve is open once the system is charged that water/oil
accumulation is the tank has not been a problem. The tank air is down stream
of a check valve and therefore stays charged when the dump valve is open.
Thank you very
You are welcome. Randy and I have had a million questions, OK thousands.
This list and others have been a real help. After flying, SOON, and we have
a chance to see how all the systems work in real life we look forward to
sharing what we find.
OFF to the MOOSE WORKS,
Don B.
