				I made my dipstick out of 1/4 inch clear PVC tubing.
 Same type as Cessna uses.   Stick it down to bottom of tank, put finger over 
 open end (like a kid with a soda straw) and remove.  You will see exactly 
 how much fuel is in the tube.   Calibrate as you fill the tank on the first 
 fill, ie. 5, 12 15 gallons....

 Still fighting with my weight and balance calculations.
 601XL with Jabiru 3300..... and BRS (449mm)
