Hi all,

I had someone using my Skybolt and whilst fuel filling it and dipping fuel levels they left the stick on the wing - now laying on the runway somewhere :eek:

I was going to drain my tank and fill it slowly checking quantities making a new dip stick. However, my engineer suggested just copying someone elses stick that has a Skybolt ..... :cool:

Can I impose and ask for a photo of your dip stick next to a ruler of tape and I can just replicate the markings - levels ... :confused:

I know it sounds a bit lazy but I can check the stick then against a number various pump readings as I dip and fill it next fill over the coming weeks.

:D
