KELMO Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Wish I had more info on it but was jawing with the guy too much. I can tell you that it caught my eye as he entered the down wind pattern for landing. Where the green is on it the fabric is somewhat opaque so the sun hitting it really catches your attention. The fuel tank is plastic and sets right behind the seats. It had a zipper flap to get to it. 2 Quote Link to comment
