You could alternatively pressurize the tank with nitrogen and then use a
refrigerant sniffer to go over all the seams. It will find the smallest of
leaks quickly and easily.

use would quickly rehydrate the wood under controlled conditions. Couple o

Most likely your tach is receiving a pulse from both systems. Some where
the two systems are interconnected. Chase out your wiring to find the point

What would be the pro and con of extending the center section spars and

give room for larger wing tanks in the stub area and added width for flaps.
