Larry, all you need to do is call Dan at Aerial Banners in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Dan is the most knowledgeable person around concerning Pawnee's, he operates about 60 of them and his rebuild shop is impressive. Tell him that I sent you, he will be the best contact available for Pawnee information. Bob
Thanks all. To close this out, I just finished overhauling its left strut with new O-rings and backup rings, and it’s fairly straightforward, although the fact that it’s now weeping 5606 out the bottom weep hole tells me that its days are numbered and we’ll probably convert to the hydrosorb/bungee struts after this season. Also the carb airbox wasn’t as worn as I thought and just needed new rubber bushings, which took awhile to get. Btw, the person referenced at Aerial Banners never returned my call.

I would convert that back to the hydrosorb/bungee configuration whenever you can. If you convert back you can alter the bungee cords used and go to two cords vs three for a much more docile landing bounce. I did this on all of my Pawnee's and it works well. not having 135 gallons of chemical makes a big difference. I might just have a \n old set of hydrosorbs in my stockpile. Bob

Bob thanks, would be great to buy them used— they’re pricey new, assuming they’re available at Univair as advertised. Larry
