    Hi Bob Regarding your request for advice - I put a fully clear roof on my first plane, a Sav classic with the slats, back when they came in alu with a little trapezoid shaped window. I thought the all clear roof would be good for visibility etc. but later I hated it because it got so damn hot under it on long flights, especially in summer, so I ended up putting the origional back in with one of those stick on shades on the window. Later on I have put an aluminium roof on a VGXL, From memory I used 20 or 25 thou 2024 sheet and just used the plastic roof as a template. On the underside I insulated with 16mm black sponge rubber from Clarke Rubber, then covered with the grey light weight carpet. Worked well, no burnt head or sun reflection on instrument faces. I also did another one with an alu roof but with the smaller window insert like the older Sav's had. I have seen painted lexan as well so that can be done, but I would prefer the alu replacement instead. Hope this helps Rick

    Hi Monk, Youve got things a bit wrong there. The fuel pickup to the motor, via the lift pump, is from the tap at the bottom of the tank. The top and bottom fittings on the side just join together with clear fuel line for a sight gauge. See attached picture. Cheers Rick
