Anthony... adjusted the small screw adjustment for the flap raising speed and all is well:). Thanks for the info...Ray

Previous to my purchase, a former owner removed the step and installed a "ski tube". The tube is actually an 18" X 18" X 4' box that fits in the aft fuselage. The opening for the box is on the starboard side of the baggage area just below the baggage door. They had also installed some Cessna (ugh) rear seats with fold foreward seat backs. The "ski tube" came in very handy for storing some camping equipment on an Oshkosh trip. Had to watch the weight & balance, but it wasn't too hard to do.

I let the fluid for my flaps get too low (small leak since fixed). Since I added fluid and bled the system, the flaps will NOT retract when the flap lever is put in the "retract" position. I can only get the flaps to retract by opening up the bleed valve. Further more, I can lower the flaps regardless of what postion the flap lever is in! Do I still have air in the system? Would loosening the screw that governs how fast the flaps retract help to get the air out of the lines (if air is the problem). I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks
