I'd like to put the fitting on the root of the wing so it doesn't interfere with airflow and so it's visible from the cockpit. Still, your method should work equally well, I'll give it a try. Sacha ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:03:56 AM PST US From: Guy Buchanan Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: header tank does not stay full - installing a fitting at the top of the wing tank Sacha, You may have misinterpreted my design. My fittings are on the vertical inboard surface of the tank, inside the inner-most wing rib. (There's a gap of about 1 1/2".) They're definitely out of the airflow and, but for the root rib plate, would be visible just above the gas "gauges", (the site tubes,) from the pilot's seat.

It sounds exactly like what I want. Do you happen to have pictures or could you take some easily? If so I'd appreciate if you could post them or email them to me privately.

I applied the Bondo to the bare aluminum. (The dents were caused by improper wing folding.) -------- Mike Perkins Havana, Illinois Model I, 532, B gearbox, GSC prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=409099#409099 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
