David I noticed fabric rivets in your ailerons. I don't see any reference to 

that in my plans. (2003) We have the same engine exhast but I have flaperons 

and no prop extention.

Also does anyone know if I to will need aileron counter balance also. Kit 

came without.



I have two new 5 gal. TNK plastic gas cans with caps. They want to be 

together. Make an offer Ed.

Vic, My MkIII got aileron flutter at about 70 mph without the aileron counterbalances. I took it out to 110 mph after I put them on and the flutter was gone. Up to you, but they're pretty cheap insurance and only take a couple of hours to retrofit.

What do some Mark III pilot use for fuel tanks?  I was thinking of a

fuel cell.  Any suggestions?  Also, do you have an idea of how long the

plastic tanks will last?

Per the "how long do they last", On the bottom of almost all blow molded products is a molded in date stamp of some form. Even if the manufacturer's name is not apparent, you should at least see a year and month in small boxes. Mine on the Firestar was produced in June of 1990. It has seen better days. However if you use the proper epoxy for a small crack or hole as a temp fix, it will bond and hold. THe key is finding a epoxy that will attack the poly material, adhering while not breaking down from fuel additives or the different gas configurations.
