--> RV4-List message posted by: John DeCuir <jadecuir@comcast.net>
I had a minor accident recently, and would appreciate any advice on
repair. After a pre-dawn run-up, I turned to go to the runway and ran
over an unlit barricade ( the portable plastic type with two lamps,
about 16 inches high at the lamps). The only damage is to the wheel
pant fairing, which is a simple glass repair, and the aft fuselage,
which is trickier. There is a gradually deepening dent, ending abruptly
at a bulkhead that is not damaged. It's about 1/4" deep, and 1 1/2"
wide, at the radius. The paint is intact, but slightly scuffed. It's
accessible thru the baggage area , But what is the best way to push
this out? I'm a non-builder owner, but do most of the maintenance
myself, and would like to keep it that way, but I don't want to make
this worse than it is now. It's barely noticeable now, and I'd like to
push it out without blowing off the paint.
