Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fus. fuel tank.Good thoughts Mike. Unfortunately Model A builders like me are stuckwith the wing tank because of the high location of the Model A"s carb.My carb. sets at the same height as the top of the fus. cowl.eliminating gravity flow.

The Travel Air uses 30x5 wheels. The shock cord attaches to the axle and centervee, unlike a Cub where the shock cord is entirely on the axle "spreader bar."I could come up with measurements for the Travel Air if anyone thought itwould be useful, but I doubt it.Gene ----- Original Message -----

Yeah, I know JUST what you mean, same here, I can relate, that's been my experience.....Ok, I'll admit it, I don't actually know what the heck we're talking about here....but since I'm picking up MY (ready to "bolt on and fly") Model A this weekend, I'm just kinda excited about being able to include myself in the "Model A builders like me" group, along with Leon, Larry, Ken, Jeff, Kip, Douwe, et al.....Jim in Plano.....making PockaTa PockaTa sounds....all the time now.....----- Original Message -----
