Your advice sounds good but would you please describe the "skin pins"
you are suggesting Steve G should use so the rest of us followers can
benefit too?
While you are at the keyboard you might also tell us do you have, and
how can we get, an illustrated pricelist of all the bits and pieces you
sell such as the phenolic firewall, the rudder bell crank mod on the
extended tailwheel etc etc?
I realise that to us in Australia prior approvals would be needed before
use here and hence we would require details to submit.
