    Yes, Eddie...that must be what it is. Thanks. That fuel shutoff valve is engine dependent? So it comes with the engine? Is that correct?

    Im pretty certain that I got that valve in the Firewall Forward kit as that is when you get all the fuel line stuff etc etc.

    Well Hello everyone. I've been out of touch for some time now. It's time I should give an update. Progress has been slow but steady. No real issues so far. I am just about completed with the fuselage section of the build manual. Hoping to move on to the wings soon.Getting really antsy to get this thing further along. Can't wait to get it in the air. Here are some photos showing the work done so far

    Regarding the trimming of the acrylic bubble doors....I know some here advocate using a dremel with a diamond wheel and some prefer a bandsaw. I used a diamond wheel on the first door and a bandsaw on the second. My opinion is a bandsaw is a much better choice. It was far easier and faster to cut and I was able to make a more straight cut. I used a 16 TPI (teeth per inch) blade at about 2000 fpm.
