    Excellent! 0 issues in the 3 years I’ve owned. The only thing I did was have the lights wired up. Very readable and have been rock solid… I have a G2 so chts are there -Don

    Just got the word right tank patch is done! Paul confirmed no leaks. Now just waiting on word to pick it up… Nice! I’ll install the replacement StormScope and start looking for a timeframe for autopilot… -Don

    Talked to Maxwells today — curing is going on and they’ll do a test on Monday! Didn’t find anything unusual so fingers crossed! Will be nice when fixed… -Don

    Here is another interesting short (45 minutes) from WW II era. this one doesn’t ‘hide’ the results of war — Jimmy Stewart has the intro… Lloyd Bridges does the pilot voice overs… -Don

    Replacement StormScope came in and I was able to test it. Working great AND the backlight works great. Once she is back from Maxwells, I’ll rnr the old one… simple and easy to remove thankfully… -Don

    I followed the Jaeger approach… the patching material is very pliable. All info in my thread… Before: After: -Don

    I guess it depends on how big the leak is and what condition the current sealer is. The SMM (Service Maintenance Manual) shows the various types of leaks. If it’s a big leak, reseal may be required. For me, the leaks are not huge so patch makes sense. For me, I can do a lot of patches vs full reseal cost. Since you’re painting, it may make sense. May be worth to get a patch to see if the sealant is good or if it is recommended to reseal. Mine was resealed in the 80’s and so far, the owners who did patches, the sealant is doing well… -Don

    Mine is at Maxwells now for a patch… for the same reason vs strip/reseal -Don

    She’s at Maxwells for the right tank patch. I have a replacement WX-900 on the way. Hope to get 3 years out of the WX-900 as I really want to get the GFC-500 first. Fingers crossed on all of this… -Don

    Steel tube from Lowe’s, small jack should do in a pinch - maybe a jack-stand as backup support. Aircraft spruce in Ft. Worth by Meachum airport can do will call if things are in stock. Not sure if they are open today but Monday they could have it. Aer-o Specialist (Charles) is a great guy. Good shop there @ McKinney… -Don
