Remember that 2005 Tiger that I resealed the spar last March? Then, I stripped and resealed the rest of the rib and bottom doubler. I flew the plane with a full tank for 30 minutes and no leak. I then let it sit for 10 days and watched the area of concern. No leaks. I flew the plane again today for about 30 minutes. The leak is back. The leak appears to be coming from about 6 inches ahead of the spar. It's hard to tell where it's coming from. What I see is what is leaking past the strap between the wing panels. Tomorrow I'll take off the strap between the wing sections and try pressurizing the tank to a couple of psi. I can tell you where it isn't leaking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message teamgrumman-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/TeamGrumman-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/teamgrumman-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/teamgrumman-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
