I gave N118LW (v2) a ringing out over the weekend. Wendell Green requested a new set of wheel pants for N51863, luckily I know a guy who has a set of 'next-gen' wheel pant molds just a leg away in Olney, IL. What better excuse than to go lay up some fiberglass and spend a Saturday flying around IL, IND with David Read, Derek Frische and Scott Stine?!?! New wing and additional fuel really made a difference ... in speed and utility! We can add aerial photog to Scott Stine's skill list as well ...

How much ‘extra’ gas did you build into the new wing? |

I can't take credit for 'building' it but rather 're-building' it. 2 bays in each side of the center section, so 16+ gal. Thorp fact 4 gal per bay. |

Looks like it was a great flight, Lee. How many gallons did you land at OLY with? |
