Alright, you made me do it. My flop. The openareas will be covered both sides with lexan.And yes, I've sat a piece of it in a bottle offuel for days with absolutely no effect.ClifHappiness is a dry head and a wet tank.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 00:40:42 -0800

what I ran was 3/8" stainless steel tubing and with the fuselage sitting in flightattitude I attempted to bake the bends work so that it would have a gradualall all the way to the gascolator which is mounted on my firewall close to thebottom-I can reach under the back of the cowl here it comes below the fuselageand press my quick drain on it - what I did was fasten my tubing to the rearedge of my left forward cabane and I do have a short section or rubber hoseattaching it to the fitting in the valve which is right in the tank.. and justfor my peace of mind I wrapped a piece of stainless steel safety wire aroundthe valve- and along the hose and around the fuel line below it with the hopesthat it would make a grounding path for static so if I am fueling from a pumpor truck that has a ground wire I can hook t the exhaust pipe or such- it willbe in contact through all the grounds from the engine to the firewall to thefuel line right on up to the tank.

There will be. Haven't gone there yet. Every timeyou turn around there's ANOTHER damn detailyou haven't taken care of.......yet! :-)Of course the other reason is that the wing panelsaren't on yet so there's nothing to latch to.Clif> Clif, Is there a latch that holds the flop down?> John Francis________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 00:39:30 -0800
