Let me know once you have them installed, you won't be sorry, I'm so happy with them!


Ps:--- Mike, pleasure.... I'm glad you ordered 6 drains from my contact. Hopefully you will stop using those unreliable old drains in the cheetahs in future - progress is always a good thing!!
Drainvalves that are a hassle to use or that leak have caused engine failures due to the pilot being reluctant to use them.

It will be an improvement on the Cheetah for sure. Those old ones have always been a concern. I have had one where the o-ring bust on a preflight. That realy changed my plans for the day. Especially because the tank was full to the brim. :evil: :evil:
