Capacitive senders may not all be alike but the one I got requires a
fairly large "bump" on top of the wing. I made a fairing by cutting
up an aluminum drip pan from the kitchen stove. It doesn't look too
bad but little mods like this sure add to the build time. On the
other hand, hanging a piece of the kitchen stove on the plane was a
very satisfying bit of rebellion against regulations. : )

When the FAA inspected my 701 I had a beer can stuffed with a brass scrubber pad
with the breather hose to one inch of the bottom for an oil separator. The only
comment the inspectors had was it was the wrong brand beer can. This certainly
was a very light separator.
This actually worked very well until I found a transparent container so I can
now see how much oil has collected. When an amount I deem needs removing I simply
suck it out with a turkey baster.

Bumps on the top are better than the chance of leaks from the side...
