About access panels, for pushrod access and so on, do you have them? How do you build them? How do you keep fuel out of the fuse?
Thanks,
Kiiski

Scoptch tape.

Seriously, Matt uses an adjustable elevator horn and just builds in an access slot on the inside big enough for the allen wrench to pass through. The oil goes to the outside, so, essentially, there is no problem. But, if you are concerned about it, cover it with packaging tape--the same stuff you would use to seal your hinge line.

Only did one. I made a door about 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 and used a cloth hinge glued to the front and monocoat to seal the rear. Worked fine.Funny thing is I never had to use it but once. Go figure.
