Mitch:
Man you just made my day............................ I already figured I would have to fly it to the ground.......

Plane is still at the vinyl shop so I will not have time to make wing measurements for a few days........... anyway, what do you mean by "measure the fuselage area"? Do you mean just the portion that is under the wing saddle?

Because if that is the case, measuring all the area on the midsection when it is removed (including the nacelle area with cowl's) would include that area, correct? cause you would be calculating the area of the midsection that is covered by the wing saddle area of the fuselage.......... Am I making sense?

I also agree with the fuel issue. I also have a 40oz smoke tank....... Hope they don't want that full also!!!!!!!!!!!
