Foul Ole Ron Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Has anybody else heard the sort of constant high pitch whine sound that kicks in once the fuel gauge drops to 10? Is that supposed to be there?
statrekmike Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I have heard this sound as well, it sounds like it could be some sort of pump sound but it is hard to e sure.
jocko417 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) There was an Aft tank pump that automatically transfered fuel into the forward/main tank, but I can't remember the specifics. Presently on the road with work but I'll check the manual I have when I get home tonight. Edited August 1, 2014 by jocko417 Spelling

Foul Ole Ron Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 yea there is a radar tone sound adjustment on the up left dial black in color.:joystick: Isn't that the GAR-8 growl volume and not radar tone? Radar lock is just indicated by the light stopping flashing.
Devrim Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I hear whine sound too. Last night those happened: * Fuel needle shows ~10 and whine sound comes out, that's OK. * I landed and refueled, now needle shows full, but whine sound keeps being heard. * Took off from runway, I'm in the air. Still I'm hearing that sound. * Than I pulled throttle to IDLE. When RPM < 40% and generators went OFF, then again pushed throttle forward and (RPM>40%) generators went ONLINE and whine sound gone... Is this how it is suppose to be?

Luftan Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Are you referring to the high pitch sound same as when you have your throttle to idle during flying ?
Devrim Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 No. He says:...once the fuel gauge drops to 10...

FishBike Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 I went into the folder with all the F-86 cockpit sounds in it. This sound comes from "TransferPump.wav" so it would seem to be the sound of a fuel transfer pump.
statrekmike Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 To add to what Fishbike has posted, I have found that the fuel transfer pump (the sound we are hearing) is designed to pull fuel from either the rear tank or the upper front tank, apparently there is a switch that allows you to select what tank you want to drain first (for trimming purposes) but the model we are using may not have that switch at all. Either way, that is what the sound is.
