• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hey guys,
Just wondering what you use for the fuel sight tube? My Eagle has the clear tube on the tank to see fuel level. It does not have any type of floating ball or anything in it. I can see the level ok but would like it to be more visable. My 9 year old son is up front alot and if I ask him how much fuel we have I want it to be very easy to see. Do most of you just run a clear tube without a float or with? What can be used and will always float? My tube is very small for stick clearance. (540, 30 gallon fuel tank and redesigned stick) with a large diameter tube the stick would hit it I think. Any ideas? if I put in a floating ball or something it would have to be very small. Or should I just leave it as is?
