Re: Paint Scheme Software?

Hi Steve.

Unfortunitly not.
Typically custom paint schemes and the like are handled internally or privately.

Thanks.

Re: New Fuel Level Sender Bending Detail

Hi Joe

You need to slide the fuel level sender base closer to the fuel tank root rib and drill 2 new mounting holes for it.
Make sure you have good clearance between the float ball and WG-RIB-204.
The new kits will have the holes drilled in the correct position.

Re: Rotax 915iS C24

Hi,

We are not offering it as an option currently. The limitation lies with some of the equipment used (flap actuator, trim servo, lights etc.). We will consider it as an option in the future, but it will be some time still.
