I too have had success in recovering a Schultz. I had the same frustrations as Bob C. but learned the same lessons as he. The little micro pneumatic MUST work freely to pull the valve shut. Pouch leather would be a good alternative to the ultra thin pneumatic cloth that Durrell had at the time. Even that cloth had to be dealt with properly to get the pliability right. I fought with this particular one for a number of hours before I finally got it to fly. It sure worked nicely when I was done. The rest of the job was pretty straight forward. Good luck. Lar
