Richard,
Great looking plane. I noticed on the left wing fuel cap you have a fuel
indicator that is similar to the one in the nose tank. Did you just get another
cap with this visual indicator installed ? I always " stick" my tanks to
insure the fuel quantity but this looks like an easy way to monitor the fuel in
flight.

We had the Coupe down for about 10 weeks to complete the new Paint &
Polish scheme. We're very pleased with the outcome of the finished product.
It's truly a Coupe like no other The primary objective was to offer a modern
yet classic/vintage look, while minimizing the upkeep of polished aluminum. In
reality, only "approximately" 20% of the entire aircraft's surface area is
polished aluminum. The primary paint color is Ford 2008 Vintage Copper, and the
secondary paint color is Ford 2008 Dark Vintage Copper. IMO, very rich modern
colors that clearly offer an antiquated flavor!
We'll probably go with a new Airtex interior this coming January. For
now ... we just want to fly!
Enjoy,
Richard
