When we watched Bob Mills prepping Race 49 (his read Rocket 6) for a heat race on Wednesday, we noticed that his fuel cap tabs were standing a bit proud – something that happens when you have over 2,000 hours on RV fuel caps.Sympathizing with Mills over the drag that might be induced by this little tabs sticking up into the flow, we looked into our shop box and found a brand new pair of caps, just waiting to see fuel on one side and air on the other.
Always willing to help out a fellow aviation, we offered Mills the use of the caps for the week – but not before making sure that Kitplanes got credit as a “sponsor” for the team. It is a modest contribution – but every fraction of a knot helps!
