Brief Description:  Fuel blisters and gascolator

Trimmed and test fitted blisters. They will work fine, but I removed most of the tapes that went over the flange starboard side for a closer fit. Compared them both, and there is nothing between them visually, but my center cut plan was more fiddly, and weighs 21g more, so the flange method is a clear winner, 109g to 130g. Sorry, I've forgotten whose idea I stole, probably Scott Fish. Thanks anyway!

Applied 1 x 4oz wetly with EZpoxy over both blister sites, with extra tapes for the sump tank vent tube starboard side.

Cut the holes for the gascolator, and spent ages on my back underneath relieving the inner foam. Wasn't sure if it would be easier or harder with the plane on its wheels. Got quite skillful with manipulating the dremel sanding drum with the guidance of a mirror on a stick. When the gascolator is all installed I will publish my method, to avoid too many timewarps...
