Hi Penelope,

It was in the glove box! It's basically a glorified sticky note. Aircraft Spruce has some, but they are plastic. I'm not sure of the regs, but maybe just writing on a sticky note will work. Someone on the forum would know.

Had a lot of water in the plane. Rugs were soaked, more so in the back. Put towels in and some damp dry, but was wondering if this is normal in a 50 year old plane or if I need to get it fixed.

thanks


This is the first winter it has been in the open hanger. Initially I was concerned, but no issues at all. Actually last winter it was in a big unheated hanger and condensation was a issue. My hunch is yours is leaking somewhere. Several years ago, mine was leaking through the back window. A little caulk solved that.
