Default fixing/replacing the decals...

Ok, Mike, I'll try those items, very carefully, and see what works best. I'll let you know the results...


Les, the tank location on this airplane may not let me turn the engine on it's side. It's fairly high up now, placed evenly with the spraybar on the .75. I'm afraid if I turn it on it's side, it'll be too low, and I'll have flooding problems when level and leaning problems when inverted (though I rarely roll this particular plane over.) The tank can't really be moved, as the firewall is about 3/4" thick, and the inside formers fit the tank exactly. Would take a LOT of work to move the tank down.

Also, it's been mounted upright for 9 years... hate to make changes like that after 9 years.... Looks fine and works well right where it's sitting...


Thanks,
phil in austin
