They are: 1. Currently have boots installed. Should I install push/pull compensator= and aileron pressure box? Have gotten differing advice from two "experts"= . 2. Wing has aluminum chase for the aileron pushrod, allowing for an additi= onal fuel cell. I've been told the aluminum will expand and contract at a = different rate than the glass, eventually creating a leak. My choices are = to close the bay and make it dry, or remove the aluminum and replace it wit= h a carbon or fiberglass chase. My estimation is that it will drop the tot= al fuel from about 112 gallons to 95-100 gals. For those flying IV-Ps, is = it worth the trouble for 12-17 gallons? =20 3. The hydraulic power pack had been removed from the project. I've found= a source for a 12-volt power pack. Anyone have, or know where I can find = a complete power pack with a 24 volt motor? I'm sure I'll have more questions as the project continues. Hope to see ma= ny of you at Oshkosh. Thanks in advance for your comments and advice. Mike Baudhuin 678-471-7919
