Re: Step

No. But I have seen a fellow in a Long-EZ use a light weight step stool (block) on a lanyard that he could step up onto and when once boarded, he would pull the block up into the cockpit. Phil

Also, our Alamogordo/ White Sands NP Balloon Festival is this weekend. This is the first time they've had it since we moved here one week shy of three years ago.

Re: Tank Fitting Question

Those are good points, Chris. I did the same for my Plexiglas when I built the frames for my 3-part/door opening. I drilled 1/4" holes in the edge of the plexiglass at about 2 inch spacing and pushed

Re: Tank Fitting Question

Re: Tank Fitting Question

That fitting will work. You need a 37/64" tap drill and I would recommend leaving material in the wall around the hole that is at least half of that diameter. Closer to a full diameter would be
