How long is the fabric on the wing good for if it is kept in a trailer and only exposed to light when flown?

How long is the fabric on the wing good for if it is kept in a trailer and only exposed to light when flown? Wesley Wes/Kolbers: I don't know how many hours one could put on a MKIII airframe under normal stress before retirement or failure. At this time I have 3,197.7 hours on my MKIII fuselage over a period of nearly 21 years. I don't think the fuselage is anywhere near the end of its serviceable lifetime. I have original fabric on all of my MKIII except the left wing, aileron, and flap. Which was recovered in 2000, after an accident. The upper and lower vertical stabilizer were recovered 6 or 8 years ago, I think. The original fabric still test good. I keep my MKIII in a T hanger with open front that faces east. Can't remember now how many coats of Polyspray was used, but enough to prevent any light from penetrating through using a 100 watt light bulb. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
