The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

The Eagle is out of storage. Going to need a deep cleaning before anything, then a complete disassembly and going over. I know the batteries are getting replaced, been around five years since used. I am not going to post on this as it has all been seen before.

Well, she is open. All fuel and oil lines are toast, batteries read 0 which I figured. I ordered some new batteries and a fuel tank. Going to gut all the extra stuff being I'll never be taking it to show or compete again. Smoke related, tele related, seat and harness, etc. etc. nothing but what is needed to fly.

Viton inside the tank for it's flexibility. https://www.chiefaircraft.com/ca-viton-18.html

Tygon everywhere else cause it's much cheaper than Viton. https://www.chiefaircraft.com/dub-506.html

I've never used the Sullivan Pro Flex but I've heard its a good option as well. https://www.chiefaircraft.com/sul-s212.html

I have gone to Pro Flex for everything. Started using it a number of years ago and up to now it has done well for me and it does not go hard. i use to rebuild my gas tanks every second year. Not needed anymore.
