ok I know this is going to be a really stupid question but I was thinking of going to the enclosed front on my Firefly. How does one fuel this beautiful plane? does the other side have a hinged doorway? I keep a back pack strapped behind the fuel tank could I still access it?
Also is it sealed behind the seat?
it also appears open to the side of the pilot, does this still offer wind protection (it's cold here in MN.)

Fuel? Easy before the wings are unfolded....afterward...use a long hose
and fuel from the front...
Little to no wind with the "full" enclosure...Not sealed behind the
pilot...Though my last one was...It came to me with the fuselage covered
and modified...Had a nice tray behind the 10 gal fuel tank...Naturally,
I marked the 5 gal level... The right side has a door that opens to
access the fuel and carry ons...oil, tie downs.etc.. Herb

Nice tray, I just have a backpack back there.
but I am curious about the ten gallon tank, is that something available that fits into the existing hole? something Kolb carries?
