Rob Wolf,  In regards to you question about the fuel line sight gauge for
the wing tanks; I have found them very useful.  I purchased my kit in 1989
and have the clear fuel line but its not exactly clear any more after 6
years of service.  The sight gauges give you a positive indication of
exactly when the transfer pumps start sucking air and when you can not get
any more fuel out of the wing tanks.  Air bubbles in the line are very
visible even in a cloudy fuel line.  You can not get this information from
any mechanical or electrical fuel gauge that I am aware of.  In my opinion,
the appearance of the lines at the location shown in the construction manual
is not objectionable but look rather professional.
