yes mate was reasonable pleased with the result.

Fuel leak was the GP fill valve, it is about 8 years old! Replaced that and major leak vanished but it is still dripping from carb mouth (inverted engine). Tank is pressurised to about 10 psi via the rear pressure oulet on the engine to a kline regulator. think the regulator might be worn. Have ordered a new one and will fit and pressurise once it arrives. Fuel tubing is not that old, I replaced it all a while back. I use thin cable ties to clamp the tube.

I have added addtional nose weight to the Corsair, the by the book location is way too tail heavy and the location as per video is too nose heavy, now it is just right!!! Without any porridge.

Never any doubt on Dave getting recertified, he is good on the sticks. Wish my flying was as good.

cheers
