| Subject: | Fuselage separation repair completed |
Well we (son-in-law Chris & I) did the repair this weekend. We started by
injected resin into the separation as recommended then used 6plies of 9oz
fiberglass for the repair after the injected resin hardened a bit. We made
the patch 12" x 6" so it covered the separation (about 5" long) by a wide
margin. We also made each set (total of 3 sets, 2 plies each) slightly
smaller than the previous so all 6 plies don't end at the same spot to
better spread the loads. Since I did all the prep work before Chris
arrived, it took just over 6hours to do the repairs with Chris doing most,
ok all, of the layups under the instrument panel up by the firewall. It
actually came out looking real good. I have attached a photo of the right
side repair with some of my notations on it. The photo isn't the best but
gives an idea of how it came out. I just hope it will display.
I hope to get the airplane back in the air next week after I do an oil
change and some other minor maintenance. THANKS to everyone who chimed in
with recommended courses of action to my curses.

anyone wants a copy let me know and I will e-mail it directly.
