Hi fellow builders.

I'm ready to install the floptube in the left wingtank. (QB RV-7)
The only description I can find about this, is on a drawing. Nothing in the builder manual.
It looks pretty hard to me?

Does anyone have a link to a builders website where I can find some photos and a description?

For example: how big a hole schould I cut in the rear of the tank to mount the fuelsender?
Is it smart to use the plate for the standard pickup tubes which is already have holes for the sender and just close the holes I don't need or schould I make a new senderplate?

Happy building!

Best regards Alf Olav Frog / Norway

Don't have a link but

its pretty easy...Just follow the drawing 16a I think it is?

I just cut the big hole for the new access cover plate and reinforcement ring...I think you want t big hole so you can easily vacuum all the shavings out.
