David,
Sorry to take so long getting back to you. I don't sign in to the forum very often. I usually just go to the sight and read the postings without replying to anything. I was going to post something today and your message came up.

I am glad to hear that you are planning to have your plane in better shape. If you get it ready by Mothers Day, maybe we can fly to the annual Taylorcraft Fly-In down in California together. I got my wing tanks installed and my new lift struts. My plane is flying very well right now. I flew it this past Thursday for 1.5 hours. Let me know when you get your plane flying. I would like to come see it. I think you keep it at Kelso don't you? I live in La Center, about 25 minutes drive. I go up there all the time anyway, so give me a call. 503 740-3853
