DURING A TEST FLT OF AN EXPERIMENTAL SEA PLANE, THE PLT RPTD A LOSS OF ENG PWR DURING A TURN IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN AT CLINTON AIRPORT. THE PLT STATED HE HAD 5 GALLONS OF FUEL ONBOARD AND HAD FLOWN ABOUT 2 TENTHS OF AN HOUR. INSPECTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED THAT DURING TURNS WITH LOW FUEL QUANTITY THE FUEL TANK WOULD BECOME UNPORTED AND THE ENG WOULD QUIT.

THE PLT STATED THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE CORRECTED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF BAFFLES IN THE TANKS.
