I would like to sell these and the fuel pumps and other fuel system parts that came with the kit. I recently purchased leading edge tanks that I will be using. If you have an interest in any of the above you may e-mail me directly and I will send you a complete list and asking prices.

The ribs that are added for the Aileron balance tubes are canted about an inch out of square with the hinge line. SO when i carefully lined up the second rib to the outside one with the square tubing perfectly lined up ( 97 deg. ) and drilled it on the drill press i thought i was doing good. WRONG! When the ribs were attached to the leading edge of the aileron and the tail of the rib pulled around to line up with the rest it skewed the holes off by half a bolt diameter or more. DUH!! Anyway I think I can salvage it by rotating the tube 90 degrees and start over. The holes in the square tube ( Inside ) must be either drilled in place or carefully marked and drilled on the bench AFTER being clecoed in place. Hope somebody learns from this UH-OH !
