    Niel You are right on the money , many years ago i took on the National Parks and wildlife , got to court with my solicitor ,won the case on one level but i ended up paying the costs my solicitor said ,i quote If you are looking for justice there isnt there is only the LAW they had 2 colicitors ,1 barrister and woudnt let my witness read from his day book(he was a seargent in the POLICE) said what he had written was hearsay ,there is 1 law for the rich and all others can struggle cheers Gareth

    Hi Kevin the fuel tank is the same shape as the fibre glass one, what you see is aluminium bulkhead around tank area, cut folded and riveted in pos then sealed up in ternally ,this (in theory) should if tank is punctured in the event of damage ,will not allow fuel into cockpit,(fire in cockpit alarms me) fuel sender will be into sump as per normal cheers Gareth

    Hi Jamie yes we built a 95 litre full alum tank temp installed untill we get the fuel sender and flow valves then we will install and final skin off ,the tank will be coming out tomorrow so that we can seal off the area that tanks it sits in as a fire guard ,we will be making a mock up dash tomorrow (our cockpit is 180mm wider than normal so the dash supplied is to small) then we will make a plug for the fibre glassing also set the brakes and rudder pedals in place ,we are also getting the rudder control cables made up to fit ,we have the elavator glass spars ready for fitting and alignment will take a few more pics tomorrow cheers gareth
