Looks great...nice job!

On the brass clunk, I've found that avgas turns color from greenish blue to yellow orange when exposed to the brass. Does anyone know if brass clunks make regular autogas do the same? I don't think it's hurting anything but looks strange

Nice pics and setup mustangman. Did you run your vent line down to the bottom of the plane and out to atmosphere? Aren't we supposed to put a loop in that vent line? That keeps any fuel from leaking out while flying inverted, right?

Thanks, Ernie
