I don't like the thought of that!! It's bad enough to deal with
PC/Windows problems when I'm not flying, I sure don't what to pay $1000
to have that headache when I'm in my plane trying to have fun!
Thanks for all the advice. It's impossible for an individual to keep up

I constructed an aluminum door on the left side of the rear fuselage. I
just open the door stick a big hose and funnel ( that stays in the
compartment) in the tank and fill it up. It does add a nice storage
compartment to the back of the MK3.

I have a fully enclosed cockpit with the area behind the cockpit enclosed
also. I felt the need for a filling system so I rigged up a boat fuel filler
that had a built in vent line to fill both 5 gallon tanks. This system has
been nothing but trouble. I'm on my third passenger door because when I fill
the tanks a bit too fast or full they spit fuel all over my lexon doors. I
have tried two different vent systems to keep the tanks from spitting when
one tank fills first. I even put a smaller filler hose on the fast filling
tank but nothing seems to help. Now that I have a boat it spits at me too.
Maybe it's just me.
I like Woody's idea of putting a access door in, to fill the tanks. This
would also make it easer to access my baggage compartment. I also remember a
technique John Williamson used to fill his tanks through his access door. He
used a piece of 1.5- 2" PVC pipe with elbows on each end. He would put the
pipe into the uncapped tank and dump fuel into the pipe. Seemed to work
well. But it seems he no longer does this.

i don't know. these engines might be good but if
you add up the "total cost" of one of these engines
installed you'll see its twicw the price of a
comparable Rotax... that being said i doubt you'll see
too many of them flying.......... tim
