What kind of fuel gauge are you guys planning to use? I'm going to try a small, plexiglass window in my root rib so I can see the fuel gauge tubing I have on my homemade tank.

What about something like "MonoKote Clear" We use to cover RC airplanes in this...
I found "Ultracote"... I thought about using this to maybe cover the round struts after fitting with foam or lightweight ribs in teardropped shape...

That would be a good idea if I had some clear in stock. The cost of a new roll is higher than a small sheet of 0.080" plexiglass at Lowe's ($5). I think the plexiglass will be much more resistant to puncture, too. Thanks for the suggestion.
