Yes, they leak(dang it) and yes they are the same as your airplane. I have never done a set but am told it is a very miserable job.

I recently bought Gary Gadberry=92s 500A (N800AC). It is presently being restored in Chattanooga and scheduled to be completed by this June. It will be based in St Joseph, MO (STJ). It has the Colemill 300HP conversion. I am slowly gathering some specifications for the plane but lack performance figures. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I think Mr. Barry Coleman has already posed this question to the group but I thought maybe you would like to know a little about me. I am looking forward to talking with you and meeting you as opportunities present themselves.

I own a 1962 500A [converted by Colemill in '73] and would be happy to forward you a copy of my AFM Supplement that was issued by Colemill at the time of the conversion. Just send me an email with your address. My contact info is at the bottom of the page for my 500A: http://www.kucheck.net/Aircraft/N811D.html Also, I am happy to announce to the group that 11D is, after about 3 months of downtime, once again flying with some fresh zero-time OHs. The new engines are very smooth and everything seems to be in order. Nice to be airborne again!
