Hi All,

thanks to everyone who made suggestions about fuel tank filling. One thing is obvious,
whatever system is used the fuel and Lexan must be kept well apart.
Building in fillertubes etc is complicated by a) my MAUW  limit and b) the fact
that it there is little room below the wing to operate if you are 6ft tall like
me. It looks as though filling will have to be through the cockpit. We shall
see. Its a pity the fuel tanks are not located lower. This would allow more
fall from the filler to the tank. Or a taller tank if you want to go that way.

Building held up a bit at the moment as the engine mount is out of true by 10 mm.
Kolb are sending me a replacement.

Cheers and thanks

Pat

Fellow Kolbers,

I was wondering if anyone had run across a sourse for collapsable fuel bladders
that would be of a material that would be safe as an add-on tank.

John,
That is true but as I said most do not have LSA
qualified aircraft to instruct in. You can do some of
your training in a Cessna but must solo in and take
your test in a LSA Class airplane which would have to
be a 2 seater at least and at this point none that I
know of in the area have a Mk-III or equal. All most
all are using Cessnas or larger aircraft.
