Re: Question about gas

If one intends to leave A/C not operational long time, one could drain the fuel out of the wing tank? Then, this fuel can go to car. This may be a protective strategy, although it is cumbersome.

Re: TAF Support of Deficiency in the Kit

Thx for sharing your positive experiences with TAF support. In the case where the parts have to cross the border, and customs clearance, anyone can share such experience?

In your blogs and youtube channels, you explained the TAF is quick to respond and agreed to supply or replace the items. Is it free shipping or you have to pay for the shipping and handling?

Re: Canada
