I am sure there is a way to register the aircraft without a bill of sale if the previous owner is dead, but it will take an FAA year... What I mentioned will provide the path of least FAA resistance.

I called the EAA Hotline and got great advise. Those guys know what can be done since they talk to hundreds of folks a year. Give them a call. The number is on the back of you EAA card, or you can call the main number and tell them it's about homebuilt registration and they will connect you with a friendly expert. Worked for me!

I lost the last month rebuilding our computers rather than working on my project. Hope to get back to work tomorrow. Good building!

All I am saying is that Fuel Injection line is much better, higher quality and higher pressure, but higher price. This type of fuel line, especially since it will not be exposed to the elements will last longer than either you or I will be flying. So as long as it doesn't get cut, you don't need to ever change it out. On the other hand poly line doesn't handle radiuses well, cuts easy, also gets hard and brittle with age. The only down side I know of with "rubber" fuel line is that it weighs a little more, but the trade off in safety is well worth it.

You'll lose some speed/aerodynamics, no big deal. Side slips are interesting... Don't stick your head out looking down if you care about your hat ;') Its tempting... Haven't yet tried flying with them on but up (top hinge), but I've heard of it being done.

I cant find it. I'm interested in knowing what others have others done when it comes to attaching things like Adel clamps and grounding wires.

Johann, forgot the photos of the gas transfer, I will try to take them tomorrow, we are going on a short Xcountry to a barbacue in a friends ranch. Hope I dont forget my camera and take some photos of the flight... Hot season and windy time is here, time for fun before it rains (June, July) Saludos Gary Gower 701 912S Flying from Chapala, Mexico.
