I already plan on this being a lengthy thread since I will continue to post to it as I work.  So let's please keep the tangents and side bar conversations to a minimum.  And I am very jealous because my family requires too much time for me to live in the garage, ahh the good ole days.

Very timely,  My plane was damaged by a taylorcraft running into it while parked in its stall.  Very little damage to the plane just the prop which was sent to the manufacturer to get checked out.  Since it would be down for a little while I thought I would rib stitch the wings.  Took the wings off Friday and having them off I thought it would be a good idea to look in the tanks.  Using a digital scope I looked in the tanks and found no peeling Kreem, but did find large globs of resin.  It appears during the layup of my circa 1992 tanks that a large drips of resin was on the top of the tanks and now has broken into several chunks and is floating around in the gas.  The other tank also has resin chunks in it. Soooooooo I've been wondering how the install is going?  Were you able to insert the new tanks in to the existing tank by just cutting the top off?  Did you leave the bottom and sides for structure.

Thanks,

Nick W.

because of the proclaimed structure that the tanks offer I am considering leaving them and installing the new tanks inside of them.  I will cut the top open and see how everything fits and go from there.  Because of a leak i am going to have to replace the fabric top and bottom anyway so i will be cutting the bay wide open and will get a look at everything there.



The problem is that I deploy soon and ever since putting the IVO on I am having WAY to much fun flying again.  So there is a very distinct possibility that this install will not happen until the very last minute, if at all, before my deployment.  As soon as I do something i will post all about it.  Just don't hold your breath waiting for it.
