That oil drain when you put the lines on is a bit of a surprise... I made a nice mess on my floor. :D

Well at least I’m not the only one.

Thanks for watching, I always hope it’s helpful to others.

I am using the same fuel and oil line setup as you are. My build is just a bit ahead of yours now. Looking forward to seeing another TSi flying in the Carolinas soon. I’m hoping mine will be done with testing and spending time at KAIK by late September. Keep the great videos.

I was based at S17 prior to my current house, not too far from KAIK. Good luck with the build.
