with the tubing on its way to the high end needle tit or do you secure it
somehow? My tank connections (fuel and vent) are at the firewall interface
and there is no room to place the filter in the tank ...

I am teaching my dad how to fly. Currently we have a thunder tiger 42. It is
adequate but taking off requires a long roll, and you need to keep the angle
low to avoid stalling. In the air it is fine, and a good trainer. But for
him to practice takeoffs I'd like a bigger engine for ...
