If the flouronation is done to a high level, then the finish of the plastic is 'frosty', similar to a 'frosted' opaque window. That said, even if the tank has been flouronated (which they are from the Europa factory for many years), if the vent and fill holes are cut open to the finished sizes the fuel will still permeate and swell the plastic through the cuts, since the flouronated layer is only 'atoms' thick.

The rear wing pins have not been installed and I have all the parts for Mod 52. The pins with the Mod are sized W24/4 and because I was unsure whether they were the original W24 pin or new, I test fit them into the socket assembly W26A,B,C and they fit perfectly. However, in reading Mod 74, it lists the pins as W24/7. When reading Mod 52, in the body of the text talking about socket assembly, it relates the new W24/5 pin should be test fit. So, can someone tell me the difference between the W24/7, W24/5 and W24/4 terminology as it relates to the pins? I know it is proabably a simple answer for this esteemed group, but I appreciate any info as I am trying to increase my knowledge of this wonderful aircraft.
