I have been fighting my new brakes, getting them properly "bled". For some reason, they don't pump up from the bottom like the Rosenhan did. PS: I have a full set of Rosenhan (Matco) wheels, brakes, axles, and spacers for the Diehl gear, for sale OFF NET.
So, knowing that I am going to make the forward deck removable, and move the fuel to the wings, I decided to bite the bullet and "git er done". Today, I cut off the old deck and it appears that I am going to have to cut the tank to get it out. This tank has a Princeton Probe fuel sender, and all the stuff that a header tank needs, and will go to some lucky builder, cheap, when I get it out. The next step is to remove the wings and cut them open , once I get the new tanks built. The plan is to fly to the Gathering on the VW, with new fuel tanks, and change it out for the Corvair, soon after I get back, in hopes of flying to the Corvair college in November, on Corvair power. So, needless to say, I will have a complete 2276 VW with all the trimmings, and I mean ALL, from in front of the firewall, to the tip of the spinner, with very few exceptions. As good as this engine is running now, if I did not already have the Corvair, I would just keep on flying it as I am not looking forward to all this work in the 95 degree weather that we will have between now and Gathering time. So, I am sorry to say that, the time for building has begun again. I must be a sick puppy. Daniel R.
