<p>Hi Tom! I'm building a 750, so I'm not familiar with the wing construction you have. But for what it's worth, I thought I would mention that on the 750, the fuel line on the inboard end of the wing passes through the rear spar. If the return line were to be located at the inboard end of the wings also, it would require that the hole through the spar be enlarged ot tow holes be made, which appears to render the rear spar too weak to carry the wing load at that location.

<p>Hi Tom! I'm building a 750, so I'm not familiar with the wing construction you have. But for what it's worth, I thought I would mention that on the 750, the fuel line on the inboard end of the wing passes through the rear spar. If the return line were to be located at the inboard end of the wings also, it would require that the hole through the spar be enlarged ot tow holes be made, which appears to render the rear spar too weak to carry the wing load at that location. In the 750, all the fuel lines and wiring pass through the trailing edge skin to the fuselage. Again, this may not apply to the 650 geometry....just food for thought. </p>
