1000s of flights over several different airframes, I've not had one issue ever with the McFuelers. There are many fuel dots that work or look great, Mark has all the bases covered with these.

I have always PM'ed him with an address and he asks for a check in return or for a Credit/Paypal payment. Just do that and it will go right through.

I was out of town for the weekend at an IMAC Judging school but I'm back now and you can call anytime during the day from after 7am till around 7pm East Coast time. I live in North Carlonia. The best way to contact me is to just send me a PM here on the Giants.

I like the Spot-On Fuel Dots. They have a strong magnet that holds the fuel dot in. They come in either single or double dots.

I have the Spot on one. I love it its just that the line comes off a lot. I have another spot on and i want to try that. Its the same thing maybe it will work better i dont know. If now, ill become a proud owner of a mcfueler dot!

Got my McFueler today. Wow. This is just awesome. Second to none. If I had to find something wrong with it, I'd say it's the footprint (it's big), but that's REALLY not a big deal.

Thanks guys, the foot print is as small as I could make it and still pull the fuel line thru the hole while the barb is in the line, and I really don't want to try to make a smaller one there is a lot of work making it the way it is !

You could reduce the footprint by threading the outside of the cylinder housing and removing the screw plate on the outside. Then you'd just have to drill a hole and thread it into the mounting surface. Just a thought, and I have no idea how much work it would be. It doesn't reduce the size of the hardware, just the mounting footprint.

The problem with that is that the mounting surface is usually balsa sheeting or fiberglass that wouldn't have many threads. Mark also has the mounting flange setup to be a direct replacement to DA Fuel dots so there is ZERO modification nessessary if your just replacing the one you have.

My vote is still to "dub" him "Sir Mark"

I was showing mine off at the field this past weekend and got a few "Thats really cool!!" comments.
