Troy, After we left RR Sunday we stayed the night in Ponca City,OK (KPNC). We were greeted by the Mayor and given the keys to the mini van and club house! Monday we called it quits in Winslow, AZ (KI
Hi Jim and Heather, That's a nice looking pump installation. How do you know when the fuel transfer has been completed? I would like a simple way being notified that the pump has run dry and the fuel
Hi Ron, I did both at the same time. They came out fine, measuring the same as the support set up. I recall one wing needing more force to be in position, as you have noted. Kevin
