Just a thought...I just replaced my boat tank to engine rubber fuel lines for the first time since I bought the boat in 1997. I replaced them because they were cracking but did not leak. They get stepped on and abused on a regular basis all Summer then they sit outside in the sun and winter weather and come back for more. I suspect stainless guarded hose would last just fine at least it has on my 1981 GL1100 and if I remember correctly I put them on maybe 15 years ago, not because the rubber lines leaked but because they looked cool...just a thought.

I use Jiffy Tite quick disconnects. They operate similar to an air compressor quick disconnect. Might drip once or twice while disconnecting then stops and seals up. While at shows we fold them several times a day. It only takes a couple minutes to fold.

Here is a video from Jiffy tite on them.

First post. I'm an RV7 flyer considering building a Panther.
Wondering how exactly the fuel connection works with the folding wings? Is it realistic to fold and unfold the wings once a week without issues?
