Back to the saga of the Elam. First on the list, I went looking for magnets locally and finally found some at a local "mom & pop" craft store. Unfortunately, the local Michael's didn't carry anything other than refrigerator magnets. What I ended up with is some bar magnets of roughly .125X.0625X.375. I plan on mounting them in the same locations as the original mounts and adjusting as neccessary, now I'm just hoping for the best in that they work. At the same time, I'll be making repairs on the cowl, might as well kill two birds at the same time. If I do get that lucky with the magnets, I have enough to do a second boat over the winter. I found a source for nylon screws so one tail is back on, the other was pretty well toasted so I am doing minor repair on an extra tail that came with the boat and, when that's completed, it will be installed. When I get all of that, as well as the wing reinstalled, I have to machine a new shaft for the rudder. If all goes well, I may be back on the water one of the next two weekends. That will give me a chance to burn up the rest of an open gallon of fuel before the weather starts to go bad B)
