Yes!! You got it!!
Well, maybe
ok, no Maiden today. Just communicated with a good friend, and we feel it would be nuts of me, to go out in the heat, 20 miles away from nearest hospital. Lets wait one week or so, make sure I do not collapse in the middle of flying the airplane!

I just turned her on, and she was humming. Very quiet.
I removed the canopy, and filled both tanks all the way, then brought her to 6500 RPM, and the main tank did not collapse. My felt clunk in the back up tank is not restricting fuel flow to the main tank. But, If I use the fuel station to withdraw the fuel, it does collapse, and this is purely based on the flow rate.
I appreciate Wayne for bringing this to my attention.
I just checked the CG, and based off the center of the wing tube, the airplane is nose heavy by 0.50 pounds.
I will leave it like this til after the maiden.
I will cross reference Tom's CG on his, to see how close I am to his.
I believe, the measurement i made is 230 mm behind the center of the main wheels, which is about the center of the wing tube.

Cam, glad you are on the mend. Plane looks great and I think your friend is right about postponing the maiden. With that single place canopy it sure makes it look like it has a really long nose
thank you! I know, it does look long!!!
Lets see how she flies. This is what I really want to know.

Cam did you ever find a source for the 90 degree fittings? I'm building my own tanks for a DA 200 much like yours and was wondering if you found any. Thanks Jeff
