(W J R HAMILTON) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:23:56 AM PST US From: W J R HAMILTON Subject: Commander-List: Aileron Skins. --> Commander-List message posted by: W J R HAMILTON 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 COMMUNICATIONS CHANGES: All Recipients Please Note.
