All,
This week I have hauled the 500A into the hangar for some long required
TLC, and a bunch of new gear.
As will surprise no one, some of the skins on the horizontal stab and the
elevators and aileron have enough corrosion to make a re-skin job the smart
way to go.
Fortunatley, all the corrosion ( not all that much for a 1962 aeroplane
that has always lived in a damp atmosphere, very close to the sea for much
of the time) is just in the ribbed skins. All in all, the rest looks like
only minor repairs.
The question is, where is the best place to obtain supplies of the ribbed
shin, either in bulk to be cut as required, or as cut for the 500 airframe.
All suggestions welcome.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton
