Default RE: Fueling without disconnecting lines??

ORIGINAL: cappaj1

Also, how do these work (see photo of fuel dots below)?
After mounting on the fuselage, do you just pull the plug and insert a tube into the opening?
Is there any leaking while filling or are the connections pretty tight?
Also, any disadvantages to the three line fuel system?

Thanks in advance.
1) The tube is run through the sl;eeve and when you pull out the "dot" plug it brings the tube out with it. Dieconnect the plug and connect your fuel fitting adapter.
B) Pretty tight.
iii) Not that I can think of. You should find an unobtrusive spot on a scale model but for sport the sky is the limit. I go one step cheaper and just use a fuel line plug that plugs the end of a fill line that is loose inside the cowl and hangs down beside the end of the vent line (which I also plug for transport in my stationwagon). http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXK138&P=ML Two for 95ยข
