Since the snow has started flying up, and the Vision was on the building board, I started to read your threads on the Vision. I decided to use a little different approach to the stand-offs. After reading that Chip now goes along with the shorter stand-offs, but only having the standard ones, I decided the easiest thing to do was cut 2" off the front of the fuse. It was then pretty simple to stand the fuse up on end and trace a new firewall out on a piece of aircraft ply. When I cut the old parts out I weighed them, minus 5 oz, add for the new firewall and triangle stock, 3 oz, Hmm, just saved 2 oz!!

While it was opened up I also thought about the tank location. I don't know about you guys but I don't like the CG moving around on me as I go from full tank to near empty. So I took the fuel tank mounting plate marked the location of the center of the tank and fit it in under the wing tube by cutting out the formers there. I realize this would create a problem if your running a pipe and need the hollowed out area, but I'm using a Slimline Pitts that I've had on the DA.

I've taken some pictures and I'll post them if anybodies interested.
