John,
 Did you get a part number for the sleeve. I could not see the = part=20 number in the manual.
 The sleeve clearly can't fit as shown, It will be easier to = verify=20 against my parts lists
 and actual part bags with the part number.
 Your airplane must be almost done. Are you flying it to = Redmoind in=20 August?
