thanks for the feedback. I'll check your build info. I've pretty much decided to put in a front and a back outlet. that way I'll have the front when heading downhill and I'll have the back when taxing in the 3 point position. DA

Sorry for the delays on the updates, today, let's build our aileron guides for the rear struts...

Mine is the same shape of Kam's, and I have an outlet front and back joined at a shutoff valve. Quick drain at the rear inboard. I think (memory fails me, I'm old) I documented it all in the build thread.

Kam, tks for your reply. I never thought of that. even though I have the necessary HW for two outlets. I've had four planes: 7AC Champ, RV-4, Citabria, and a Ridgerunner. I never much paid attention to where the fuel outlets were. I'm pretty sure the ridgerunner had one outlet in the rear. Chuck from INdiana has broad experience with multiple planes. Hopefully he'll comment.

Why not put in a front outlet during construction and plug it with an NPT plug? If you find that you need it later, just screw in another petcock. That is what I did on my FG tank.

My Al Pro-Seal fuel tank is coming together nicely. I now need some guidance from the collective wisdom of the group: the dimensions of my tank are 7"D X 12: W X 14" L.
1. With such a short L do I really need both a front and a rear fuel outlet?
2. Assume one outlet. Front or rear? Why? My thinking is if I'm up in the air and low on gas I'm looking for a place to land and probably heading down hill. Ergo front placement. If I take off with so little fuel that I'll uncover the front outlet, I deserve whatever I get... So what do ya'll think? Thanks for your input with this. DA

Hey Les, thanks for the reply. I'm sure you will have a large turn out now that  we know where it is

If I remember correctly, a kit with everything except the three longerons could be shipped UPS non-oversize.
I recall looking at the VR3 kit and noted the longerons were cut and came with splicing plugs/sleeves. So perhaps it's no longer oversized.

The Ultralight Fly-in is at Frankston Texas. Southwest of Tyler Texas at airport T25. We have a 3,100 ft. Grass Strip and CTAF is 122.9. Flyin or drive in.
