I drilled holes in the hinge, cut the pens short, and safety wired them
for ease of removal.

Does anyone have a copy of this mod.
I got one from Skystar several years ago. It talked about upgrading the
tubing size of the bridge under the seat between the spar attach points.
I am now ready to do the mod and I have lost the paperwork. 
Can anyone help?

I have had those on my Model IV for over 800 hours.  Great, needs about 12 
or 13 lbs of air.  Clint

A friend of mine gave me a pair of brand new Air Trac 8.00-6 tires.  I have 
a model IV 1200 with a 912uls.  Want to try these tire out.  They look much 
like the old slick tires but with lined tread.  Anyone tried these before 
and was results good?

Hi Lowell
   
  I always enjoy reading your posts.  You have excellent advise based 
on sound experiance.  
   
  I just discovered that one of my fuel tanks is leaking from the top.  
It is not from the filler neck so must be a pinhole from another part 
of the tank.  Do I remember correctly that you also had som leaking in 
your tanks?  Did you recream them?  Did that work?  Did you remove the 
tank or just slosh the whole wing?
   
  Thanks for the help.
