Dave,

FYI, the airframe is already using Aviation (37 deg) fittings. I have a
flaring tool in my tool chest. Let me know when/if you need it before we
move to the hanger.

I MAY actually get some time to work on the plane this weekend.....well, if
SWMBO doesn't decide otherwise <g>

All the best,

Chris

the story I heard was that during the war there was problems with
counterfeit fittings, so the US switched to 37 degrees.  other nations
didn't.  I have been told the is no difference in performance.
