Nice work! Thanks for starting this thread. I have always been curious about these kits and their quality. One thing I noticed is that you are using a fuel cap that I think has been intended for a vent. (see pic attached). The one you want to use doesn't have a screw on top that might cause an air leak and is black. If a leak occurs on the fill line you will flameout... In fact, some of us install a manual valve on the fill line to add one more level of safety there. Other than that consider adding safety wires to your fuel lines. I learned the hard way that delta jets don't glide very well after a flame out
