Russ,



My RV-4 made nasty gas stinkys when upside down or goofing off.  I decided to put a little extra effort into getting the Rocket to not do that.  I sealed the belly with ProSeal as needed to plug holes and seams.  I have nylon boots around the ailerons pushtubes.  And little foam thingies around the flap pushrods.  The fuel vents are exactly the same as they were on the 4.



I never get any fumes with the Rocket.  Maybe I'm just a better pilot now.  But I'll bet it was the sealing job and not my superior pilot skillz.
