Vent redundancy. Good sound practice.

   I have been watching this thread with great interest. While I am a number 
of chapters away from venting the tank and sight tube < Currently in Chapter 
22> , the thought of installing two bug antenna atop my speedy slick fuselage 
just doesn't seem appealing to me.

I have seen a number of photos for vent modifications to the filler neck and 
tank. But have seen darn few photos of where and how you good people are 
terminating your pipes!   

How about some of you sending a few pictures to the Europa Owners site? 
SteveD has put a place in the photo gallery under the heading of "Builders Photo

Gallery" for miscellaneous photos and illustrations.

Thanks!
