N878AC had to be taken off-line for maintenance this last week of December. The reason was a small leak in a fuel line. You might remember that the Decathlon has a small 3rd fuel tank located under the instrument panel. This is the header tank used for inverted flight (2 minutes of fuel). There is a fuel line going out from that tank just above the left rudder pedal (see picture on the left). Maintenance believe that the leak might have been caused by somebody accidentally kicking or resting a foot on the fuel line while getting in or out of the front seat. Hopefully we’ll get the parts for the repair soon and have N878AC back for you to fly. Thanks for flying N878AC.
