The 2-10 ounce fuel tanks would not fit inside the fuselage without interfering with the rudder pedals so I elected to install a Sullivan round 16 ounce tank instead. To make room I drilled a 3 " hole in the firewall. The front of the tank will stick out beyond the firewall. The tank will be sealed with PFM. All things consided this works out better in the long run, as most fuel tank stoppers do fail over time, even the Dubro brown ones. When failure does occur, all leakage will be outside of the fuselage.
I decided to glass the motor box and firewall for additional strength. I getting closer to covering this thing!
I glassed the inside surfaces of the cockpit area wit 3/4 ounce cloth, this will provide a better finish to simulate the original aluminum on the inside surfaces.
