Just learnt something. I bought the upgraded trim tab kit. Primed it and I'm now fitting it. It's exactly the same as my kit. Bugger . Anyway with the 15 and 16 mm of movement on the tab. Can I just power up the unit safety or do I have to wait till the plane is ready to fly and adjust it. Be a lot easier to it while I'm building it on the bench. Lyndon

Great thanks
-
Had a quick look but can't find it. Take it this is a tool for adjusting something ??? Much later in the build. Lyndon
-
Good advice. Thanks
-
All sorted. Lots of advice. A new day and I have it worked out. Thanks again. Lots more questions to come. Lyndon
-
Ok all sorted. Drill the holes and get them sealed. The two inside tanks are balanced. Then when I use the manifold and turn that on all 4 tanks are balanced and drain evenly. Thus one level sigbt. On that what am looking for as far fittings for it. I have two large brass ( outlets for the two standard tanks and three small brass fittings. My thinking is two for the sight level and only one return to one tank seeing they are balanced. ?? I have the on off Tao and fittings. Two breathers. Two outlets and then three small fittings. Return and sight level ??? Lyndon
-
Makes sense with the manifold. Breathers come out of the lower skin I see. Found some brass outlets with a copper washer for the tanks. The breathing outlets have nothing. Seems less than ideal. But it must work Still have no idea what that spring is for the outlet of the long range tanks Lyndon
-
Sorry the manifold One set is always open. One set I can closed. I would think if a return line is used run it to set open always it will work fune.
-
This will help me sort it out. Do the standard tanks have return lines. Do the long range tanks have return lines. The manifold set I have allows for set of tanks to be turned off. This would have die consequences if the set turned off was full with a return line installed. I would think the outside tanks would be used first in a perfect world. Then shut off and the inner tanks turned on. But the manifold set won't allow either or or both. One set can't be turned off. Then the other set is turned on in tandem with the other set. Lyndon

So I drill an 11 mm hole. Fit this with no o ring and she is ready to go ???. What's with the spring hanging out one end ???. The manual says about some return lines ???. I just looked at the original tanks. From what I can see they just thread in to the tank. No but ??? Let alone a hole they go into to. Lyndon
-
Seems strange. What seals it. Can't seem to find it in my manual. Will have another look. Lyndon
-
Wonder what that part is then ??
-
I have no hole I'm my tank. Just one to fill it. Also if you look at the pic I don't have a delivery fitting that is complete. I have two manifolds not one. Lyndon
-
Better pic
-
Long range tanks. Got one. No hole in it for the delivery ???. All I have is this with and it's incomplete I'm sure. I have the manifold kit. I take both tanks feed to one manifold. I can then choose either or both tanks at one time ???
-
Will do. Any tricks. Ps that's a while away . Lyndon

It's inside as well. One of the benefits of being single

Update. I finally got one one extra tank from Reg. Australia post lost it. The other is on order. Have bought the trim kit. A trim gauge. Some nice grips from Ray Allen. Big tyres. Boot for the stick. Some fuel hose that won't smell. Upgrade door latches. Boots for the firewall. Taps for the extra tanks. Upgrade on the front suspension mounts. Happy to spend a few thousand on upgrades seeing its a cheap plane. My flying has been Bush strips and it's what I like. So it won't fast but I'm hoping it will be good on rough short ground. No fancy instruments either. Well maybe a small I pad GPS. Lyndon

And anywhere it fits
