Take off
Jeff, I found myself doing the same think when my dad and I purchased a 52 B model. I could not figure out why every time I lifted the tail I was on my way to the weeds.

We have had them open for picture taking. The window will stay up against the wing if you remove the catch bolt in the latch. CAUTION, my dad took a real estate guy up once to take some pictures. When they opened the window it departed from the airplane tearing the aft hinge off. Seems the front hin...

Ca tax exempt

Flap Roller
I just purchased the large area washers to comply with the service bulletin. I think they were about $2.75 each totaling about $20. My rollers were just fine. It took me about an hour to change both sides.

Corrosion Control
I am thinking of fogging the airframe at this year's annual on our 52 B model. Have used ACF-50 in the past. It works well but leaches out for ever. Does anybody have experience with Boeshield or others?
Thanks,
Doug
