Hey Chris,

Yeah, they survived the rest of the tour. But the old Spring Air retracts didn't. Both of the main retracts had a nasty crack right at the 90 degree bend of the mounting flange on one side. Too many hard landings, not that I did very many of those, must have been the previous five owners. Heh. They have now been replaced by another old pair I had in a drawer, that are in much better condition. And I've straightened the wing mount too! As you may recall, there was a 2 degree difference in the incidence of the left wing compared to the right wing. Made inverted manouvers interesting. Shouldn't be a problem next season.

Deal? Man, my memory is going. I remember we talked about something, but the details escape me at the moment. Probably too much turkey. Jog my memory if you would. Thanks.
