Fuel dot options
Does any company make a fuel dot like 3w besides 3w? I like the screw in and out feature so the dot doesn't pop out, I like the fact that it uses a quarter. I just don't want it saying 3w on the face of it.

You guys must all be rich. Everytime I build a new plane I don't have any quarters for a long, long time

The DA ones are real nice looking, but if you have short nails, forget it, they are hard to get out without using a prying device...I machined out the groove a bit to make the fit a little looser and that helped.
The 3W one is nice too, I just put it in the lathe and cut off the 3W logo, now it is blank and looks good..

RE: Fuel dot options
I was really looking for one that turns just so it doesn't fall out accidentally. I definately like the look of the Desert Aircraft the best, you just can't go wrong with the red anodized screws. I never thought of having the 3w logo turned off on a lathe. I have done searches and looked up fuel dots on google. Everyone always seems to say Dons hobby. But nobody has a picture of it. Anyone want to snap a quick picture?
Thanks, Steve

I like and use the ones from Jersey modeler. They are reasonable and if you buy a bunch they will give you a deal.
