    Hi Shay,

    I will be delighted to touch base with you on the CH 750 project.   I was parked next to you at Sywell in my Long-EZ the summer before last - and greatly admired your aircraft.   I think that's what sparked my interest.  Then I discover that the LAA felt that the CH 750 was a safe option....   Aerocovers in Canada made me a beautiful set of covers for my Long-EZ.  They had no pattern but the guy went into Toronto several times to measure up another Long-EZ, and then modified them in accordance with my instructions.   Really, really helpful.    Best regards.   Tony Oliver

    Hi Shay,

    No, I just have the two 10 gallon wing tanks, one per wing. That said we have somewhat of an engine expert and he is a 701 builder and a proponent of a header tank, or at least a tank the two wing tanks deliver to. I have to ask him more about the latter before going ahead with my fuel system.

    I will probably get a chance to do that early in the New Year.
