Well, it took a while, but I finally recieved my metal fuel tank from our SeaRey friends in Australia. It will make a nice addition to the SR. I had reservations about the plastic from the onset even without the comments from other SR owners. I still have reservations about a mounting system that involves a strap in a fuselage that would take a lot of work to replace later when it gets old. Undetermined if I'm going to add some wt and hard mount it.
