    Those karbonite gears and arms work great on small electrics. Light and strong - but fretting eats them for breakfast on a gasser.

    Last time I blued steel it was an old Remington 1100 12ga shotgun when I was in high school... it did not last very long. It's a skilled art that I never mastered.

    I was very passionate when drilling fence post holes to find not one.... but TWO 4" gutter drain pipes this past week. :epic: That was some unexpected fun. :black-eye: Told my wife "I could throw something right about now" her response was "do it" LOL (nothing was thrown except my motivation.)

    So the painted window post is not inline with the cabin side window posts? I'm trying to remember if there are some exterior longerons on the cabin side that would spread the cabin outward a bit or not. This would have allowed full scale access to the stab trim I think... but maybe that a PA-18
