  • Removed wing tank.

It was an aluminum label that was on the crate for the O-200 engine that came from Bob Barrows for the Bearhawk.

Bearhawk's sure come packaged well.

This was in several sheets of styro-foam, then attached to the wing, which was inside of a steel crate. Get it all out of that, and here it is wrapped in bubble wrap.
