What part of the country are you in? I have all the equipment to do the skin thickness mearsurements. I believe you need a bulkhead thickness measured as well. Just to give you a brief history. I am an NDT Inspector for a major airline. NDT meaning Nondestructive Testing. We inspect using X-ray, Isotope, eddy current, magnetic particle, Flourescent Penetrant, Thermography, and Ultrasound. I also work on small aircraft as a side job to pay for my Bonanza. I enjoy doing owner assisted annuals and other things. I've been in the light aircraft world for the early part of my career and kept my I.A. current for over 20 years. I spoke with my boss and he gave me the green light to use any equipment I wanted to perform the inspections needed on the weekend. I am located in the DFW area and can do your ultrasonic skin thickness measuring for $75. That offer stands for anyone else needing it done as well. It shouldn't take very long to do. I am currently having a standard made so that I can check for internal corrosion in ruddervators. Hope this helps for anyone wanting to lift their speed restriction.

Worth. I rarely get that far east. I am based in Northern California (AUN) Auburn. Maybe I'll try to justify a trip your way to get things tested. Victoria has been painted, as far as I know, for many years, if that has any bearing on her skin's thickness. Newly skinned ruddervators were installed last year, prop balanced and all the rigging checked so I think that the skin test is about all she needs to become a whole person. Let me know your thoughts on the feasibility of coming back. Pete
