Nope...nothing gained if you're taking the tanks off anyway. Just makes  

easier access if you removed the plates with the tanks on.

 

Rick in Ohio at the Buffalo Farm - you SERV guys are cool cats.....I guess  

that makes James a tiger :

).



I'm  planning to yank the tanks to do the mod, only because they've been off  

before, and I'm not trying to protect a paint job; I like "room to work" when 

 I can get it.  In that case, will I gain anything by ordering hex head  

screws for the job?  Never had an issue with Phillips head last time I  was in 

there working on a fuel sender...



I plan to replace my flop tube  with a regular pickup while I'm at it.  Never 

used a negative-G fuel  setup in my flying and never will; I see it as a 

liability I put in there more  fore resale than anything.  That was long ago and 

I'm wiser  now.

Cappy's Toy now has the SB completed on both tanks.  The second tank was 

much easier than the first.  Only about 4 hours this time and yes the nut 

was tight.  I guess experience counts.



Mike Munn and Cappy will be doing the SB for Mike's RV-8 this Saturday from 

8:30 AM till completed.



Anyone interested in seeing first hand how to do the SB or just wanting to 

commiserate please stop by.  We will be at KJQF in the north side of the 

north row of T hangars just south of the new big Hyndrix hangar.



We will have transportation for lunch if desired.

the weekend.

Is there a requirement for a 100 hour inspection of our Experimental A/C?

Only periodic requirement is a "Conditional" inspection for Homebuilts, 

Annual inspections are for the certified birds. I believe 100 hours are only 

required on those certified birds which are used commercially (such as 

rentals).

Tad,



Ed is correct, the 100 hour inspection is only for aircraft used for

commercial operations.



Please don't tell me you already have 100 hours on your RV!?

Think I'll come by for moral support and a 5th hand if you need it.

I'll bring your wing stands and other stuff you left with me.

Great!  We will start at 8:00 AM.  I'm planning on leaving to take Mike and his motorcycle to the Harley shop at 9:00 when they open.  Should be back no later than 10:00.



If you are finished with the buffer bring it.  If not I will wait till you are done with it.  I use it on the cars.  No hurry though.



See you tomorrow. 



Steve
