  1. Is the model you have sitting on your plane an R/C model. That would be neat to have a flying model.
  2. I was told tanks are made from 5053H34. Was told 6061 would crack and would be hard to make the radius at the nose of the tank. I have some small pieces of 6061 and will see if I can form the tank end over a piece of oak wood.
  3. I'm really not comfortable putting that in the tank. I worry about small pieces coming loose. I will ask my IA about it, get his opinion. My main concern on the tank fabrication is forming the nose of the tank. Been reading about vaccum bag forming. Have you done this before.
  4. My IA thinks that there is a pretty large area that has pitted. As he welds up one hole and we check for leaks. We find another leak just a little way from where he just welded. I'm going to find the phone number for Utah and call them. Maby they still have the tank.
  5. The pin holes are in the wing drain area and toward the front of the tank. Some pinholes are in the end plate. I called Aircraft Spruce and ordered the aluminum sheet. Of course it is out of stock till October 21.
  6. I need a right wing fuel tank. My IA has removed it and has tried to weld it. He gets some pin holes filed and some more show up. We are thinking about fabricating one.???
  7. Have any idea where to purchase repair parts for a sport cruiser. Been calling the number in Florida and get no answer.
