Years of testing, training, improving my setup has led me to this moment.
Everything was set for the record.
As equipment I had:
Engine and frame setup with reserve mounted on swingarm.
Testing the hang point with different fuel quantities in different tanks
Hardest part was to get the hang point just right so I would be hanging correctly with both tanks full (front and back), Front tank empty, main tank full and both tanks empty.
Testing the hang point with different fuel quantities in different tanks
After succeeding in that, next challenge was to set up front fuel tank for take-off. I needed it to be high enough so it would not compromise my running and block my knees. Playing around little bit, i managed to succeed with that and jog around the airfield with full tanks and without the wing to support me.
I decided to go with main tank almost full (17l in it) and front tank to carry round 55litres.
I dint want to fill the main tank completely, because of fuel delivery system I needed the tank to be aired both ways and didn’t want to overspill while take-off.
Front tank was put into protective bag, that also made it easier to attach it to the unit.
In the morning I was going to take off, the winds started gathering force, so it was good to set everything up at sunrise.
