I thought some of you folks might like to see something new developed for the QM40 aircraft......
Has other applications too.

RE: something new
ummmmmmmmmm
Maybe this prototype picture will help explain. You can see why Dub changed to the new design.
Quite a few use a filter or joiner in-line between the fuel tank and shutoff. That way we can leave the pinch-off closed, fuel, and it wont leak afterward.
Others wanted access to the port - disconnect fueling.
So they have a choice here.

RE: something new
Very slick. What's the weight penalty vs a standard mount with remote needle? It looks like the backplate could be thinned at least in the bottom portion.

Probably saves .25 oz in the long run by eliminating the remote body and mounting screws
