Re: Fuel Valves

'NC8155 is a '46 24W. It was restored by a guy named Bob Drake & his father. It was an excellent job, but it was obvious they got tired of looking at it at the end of the project. I've detail up a lot of small things & brought it over to Germany, where I live. I was amazed it took 13 days for myself & another guy, both of us are experienced A&P + two part-time volunteers to assemble it after de-crating. Lots of fiddley work to get things right. unfortunately, I've only been able to fly it once since October, due to weather & it stills sits in Antwerp waiting to come to Germany.
