I ordered 2 new fuel pick-up tubes from Van's to replace the ones I fabricated years ago, before Van's made them for you. I thought buying new ones would save me a day of back and forth from the airport to the shop to modify my pick-up's to meet the SB.
Unfortunately, the ones Van's sent are not in compliance with the SB, so I'm out $35 and am still going to have to modify a set of fuel pick-ups...
Sometimes you just can't win.
By the way, I had a bird strike the other day. Didn't see or hear anything during the flight, but I was wiping down the airplane later and noticed a few little feathers on the leading edge of the prop, out near the tip. Thankfully, there was no damage, nor was there any other sign of the bird.
I guess I only winged him...
