I was wondering what, if any, type of screening is used on the inverted/upright fuel tank vents at the openings? Seems like a good place for an insect to nest, but the tubing is small and to put a screen to prevent insects seems fairly difficult (very fine screen). What is everyone else doing? Are you just covering when stored?

Also, I have included a couple current photos of the SD II. Close to the Weight/Balance day!

Thanks, Craig.
