I in fact still have a tiny bit of seepage from the valve itself. Next annual I am going to drain the header tank and take the valve apart and lap it. It isn't actually a drip, just a tiny bit of seepage from the valve itself from time to time. The superior pilot skill thing---well let me tell you the truth. With 73H I have a terrible time with altitude control. The thing likes to climb like crazy. If I divert my attention even for an instant, the rate of climb pegs. Ron on the other hand had a problem that is just the opposite. He has problems clearing the fence at the end of the runway. When I called the 45, I saw Ron way way down there already on the downwind threading his way between the trees and power poles on the way to the runway. Then when we were down, he chided me for missing the first turn off. However the restaurant was past the second taxi way HA HA.
