RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE
Continuing on the TBX, here are pictures of the fuselage interior. You can see the conduits for fuelin an pressurizing the tank. The tank itself is over the C/G, which of course has become common with modern "pumped" engines. Again, very neat and clean construction. Note the cross-grain balsa doublers for additional strength, common with many early kits including the Perigee, and Taurus. BTW...The "unfinished Taurus fuselage (from his estate), mentioned in the Ed Kazmirski's Taurus thread, had a thin PLY doubler.
There is a hatch behind the firewall where the fuel tank would normally be. We were curious what was housed in there, and removed the two screws holding the lid, but it wouldn't budge. After a couple mild attempts to remove the lid, we didn't want to risk damage and gave up. Our best guess is that a pump/fuel regulator of some sort is in there.
