Thanks Brett, I think I've worked how to do the fuel sight glass. Your photo looked as if you had your sight glass very neatly inside your cabin but, other photoes I've seen have the sight glass on the end wing rib with a slot cut into the fiberglass so that you can see the sight glass. Have you got your plane flying yet. Cheers Greg.

Hi Brett, I've been away overseas and this is very much interfering with the progress of my Aeropup. Hope you have got off the ground with your by now and that all is good. Question with your sight glass; "how did you plumb the top of the sight glass back into the tank so that you can still fold the wings?" I'm looking forward to going to Natfly on Saturday and hopefully I'll find a flying Aeropup. Cheers Greg.

A big thankyou Brett. That has given me the ideas I need. My lugs for both kick panels are wrong, drilling the frame does worry me, but I've resorted to just that. Other areas I have been able to use ss hose clamps like I see in one of your photoes. I see you have the fuel sight glass set up inside the cabin, I have not yet worked out how to do this with the wing folding. It must be a very exciting time for you. Hope it all goes well for you. Love to see some photoes and hear about your first flights. Where abouts are you located? I still have not seen a Pup in real life. Thanks again.

I have purchased a half completed Aeropup and very much enjoying working on this project. David Holgate from Cooma NSW had done all top quality work to about half completion before I purchased it. I am finding the plans and instruction mannual lacking at times and the kit must have been a friday kit as it is missing several lugs and others lugs and webs in the wrong places. What I'm currently finding most puzzling is the flaps controls. David had half built a lever but I cannot work out what he had in mind. Has anyone got a good solution for the flaps be it mechanical or electrical? Greg Tucker Bathurst NSW
