Robart has a few different filler valves that I know of. The longer one in the picture has a built in check valve and the shorter one does not have this feature. With the built in check valve you can leave the filler cap permanently attached to the filler valve. This makes it much easier to hide and can be hard to see even when it’s installed so that it’s sticking conveniently out the side of the aircraft!

Next I just wrapped it in masking tape and epoxy it to a small piece of wood inside the fuselage. I picked a spot on the outside of the plane with a lot going on to help hide it, just by the cowl flaps and exhaust exit area.

Next picture shows the inside of the fuselage and the air valve glued in place.

OK, there it is, easy to get to but really hard to see!

My tail wheel air cylinder had to much throw, so I asked Hal how he’d fix that and he said use a bell-crank! With the bell-crank made of PC board I am able to adjust how far the tail wheel retracts very easily, thanks Hal!

Just another shot of the pushrods, all works very smooth. Just need to install my fuel tank and radio switch and I’m done with this area.
