Matt,
The Cessna profile is not the same as the Commander, but quite a few control
surfaces have been re-skinned using the Cessna material with an engineering
approval/337.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton

<hawkins@cms.udel.edu>
All-
We had a bad wind storm here in Delaware a few months back and the top skin
of my left elevator was slightly damaged near the outer leading edge. I've
searched around for a skin and/or replacement elevator, but little luck -
only skin I could find was rediculously priced. Complete new/salvage
elevator was cheaper!
PN for skin is: 5440000-216
PN for elevator assembly is: 5440000-401
Damage is minor - does FAA allow repairs to control surfaces these days, or
do I need to replace?
Is this top skin a standard aircraft section? Looks like the control
surface material on Cessnas. If so, my A&P should be able to buy a stock
sheet and replace?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

BILL, 27 YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLCE VERTICLE FIN SKIN ON A 680. WE
PURCHASED AUTHENTIC (FACTORY DIRECT) SKIN FROM ROCKWELL . IT WAS
HORIBLE, GROOVES WERE BADLY MISALIGNED. FINALLY MADE THE SKIN OURSELVE
(PROBABLY ILLEAGLE) AND INSTALLED USING 337. NEVER A PROBLEM, BUT LOTS
OF WORK.
