I used drain grommets on my wing and burned holes on the tail. I'm not too crazyabout the drain grommets. Ugly and just add to something else that can peeland you have to kind of sand around them in the build up coats. I'm just aboutready to start spraying the build up coats on my Chief now. I'm just burningholes in with the solder iron after it's finished through color. It's neaterand simpler too. Just make sure it is on a tape and not just out in singlelayer fabric.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:

burning holes is fine, and I will probably do it, but keep in mind that the shape of the grommets creates a kind of venturi that vents the area. It might do a better job than a mere hole.Gene ----- Original Message -----

If you want more of a venturi effect use the seaplane grommets. I think they look cooler too.Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow Ohio

I'm not sure that there is any more of a venturi effect from seaplane grommets. They are shielded on the forward side to prevent water from entering, but they might not have any more venturi effect than flat ones, and they look worse.Gene ----- Original Message -----
