Re: web site!!!!

I'm sorry but I must disagree with the last few comments. Lucy has been appointed as the LAA's Chief Inspector, not a web designer. She should not be building the LAA's website, it is not her specialist subject. And certainly not while there are on going issues with inspectors and the permit system....

Sealant for fuel system pipe fittings

Hello

I'm in the process of replacing the fuel system in a Kitfox. There are a number of 1/4" NPT brass fittings to reassemble. I know PTFE is a no, no, but I don't know which variant of Loctite is the accepted. Is Loctite 542 the one to use?
