Bob, I followed your notes and it worked perfectly. The flap hinges are in such perfect shape I am not even going to replace them. But now I know how to do it. THANKS!

From: Robert Reed Galin Glad that I could be some help to you. I am making progress and I think I see a glimmer of light at the end of the t unnel. I had the engine removed, torn down and inspected. After almost 15 ye ars of storage the only problems found were dried seals and the preservation oil had gummed up. They are supposed to remount the engine next week. Follo wing that I just have about 40 hours of wiring to finish. Oh and I still have to purchase the Dynon Skyview system and all the com sys tem but I have prepared everything for just dropping them in. I am guessing that about 100 hours work remain before DAR inspection and first flight.
