My Ercoupe is flyin' again... (long)
"Greg B"
So, $1k for the annual, etc, $125 for the tank repair, 2 trips to
Minneapolis and a few trips over to Jackson, it's finally done. I was
without the plane from June 30th until today and missed out on several
fly-in breakfasts in the area (and Jay's pre-Oshkosh party?). Next year's
annual will be due at the end of August so it 'should' be done early in
September...
THANKS to Montblack, Verlus, Roger and the others that have helped me with
this issue!
What issue? g

July 15th. No titles or descriptions, just pics:
1. Tank was disassembled at the gas cap end.
2. Old (pre-war) method was to fold and solder the two pieces together.
3. End tank piece "fold" (which is about half of the flange) didn't want to
refold neatly after the baffle was re-soldered back into place. Much
tearing, like thin lead.
"Bye, Greg. Good luck."
