Brief Description:  Fuel Selector Valve

Today I investigated why Sling aircraft have the fuel valve positioned as they do. I would prefer the lever to be "left" for left & "right" for right. I drilled holes in the dash that would allow the valve to be placed in that (to me) more logical orientation and discovered why they are the way they are. This orientation places the inlet ports for the right side tank to block the right throttle cable access to the throttle bracket. Perhaps with different fittings, this position would be posible without the need of an extension rod & the valve being remotely mounted as others have done but I'll now be staying with the standard Sling installation.
