Well I got to get out and fly this morning, wasnt the greatest of days for this, 45 degrees and windy but I did fly the AJ Slick with the new EME 55 on it, I did get video of it and am finishing up the edit and processing. I will then post it Here in the Official review portion of the site. Find out what I think... And I do love flying that AJ Slick... What a great airframe!!

Im wondering if the vent hose is actually venting like it should, when i fill the tank i habe to keep pressure on the line from the pump so gas doesn't shoot out.. Ill check on leaks too. Down side is this plane is a pain to get to anything and requires taking about 30 min worth of parts off just to get to what need to work on.

Wait. What? You fill through the carb line not the vent line

He has a fill hose

Fill port goes into the tank, i think it T off and also supplies the carb. The vent line goes from the tank to the bottom of the plane, however i pulled the carb line off yesterday (maybe the day before graves leave me forgetting) and fuel sprayed out, leads me to believe there is pressure in there somehow not being relieved
