Robert, What is wrong with your tank? We have done a lot of tank repairs.

Steve,
I am rebuilding a PA-11 so I will have something to fly when I recover my PA-22. The PA-11 was blown over on its' back and the tank filler neck was pushed into the tank and there are a couple of places on the seam that were crushed. It doesn't look like the integrety of the tank was compromised, it just needs to be reshaped and tested. I will gladly send it your way. I know you are a Cub man, so I might be asking for your expertise as I progress. Of course we won't want to clutter up the Shortwingers web site with long wing questions, so I will probably PM you if that is ok.

Bob, I have several damaged Piper tanks that I have used for donor pieces in the past. I bet we can fix it. Post the PA11 questions on www.supercub.org Lots of PA11 guys on there. That is one sweet flying airplane.
