Anyone with further clarity would be appreciated. Steve W wrote: Craig, I was hoping somebody that knew this stuff better than me would give you a good answer. I think though, that you're talking about two different tests. One would be the dye penetrant of the radii of the lower spar cap. We do that one every year, just 'cus, but I believe that one is only required every other year. Then there is the looking for corrosion in the layers (or leaves) of the lower cap. As always, if I'm wrong on that, someone in the group should say so.

Further,that the dye itself was found to be causing corrosion. Anybody heard this story. This was all done in October of last year. Craig WINGFLYER1@aol.com wrote: Ron, Thank you very much. I had the spars dye penetrated about a year and a half ago prior to buying the airplane and everything checked out o.k. Again thank you very much and if you have any other advice,I would appreciate hearing from you.
