--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Steven Jackson" <steven.jackson14@adelphia.net>
Well, my mechanic is a retired A&P and doesn't charge for his
supervision--I'm extremely lucky there. Anyway, I've actually got a
replacement stab from Fletchair, but it hasn't been refinished yet. That's
the next small project for me. What we're looking at is basically to get
the thing complied with the delamination AD, and then flying. I'm actually
planning on replacing all 3 parts of the empennage eventually--that's the
only places on the plane where I've got repairs/delamination. Some of them
were done correctly, some of them were not. I actually have some round head
structural pop rivets in some places--looks nasty.
But, I'll call Fletchair today and have those instructions faxed.
Thanks Gary and Bob,
Steve

I'd opt for a new horizontal off a newer plane. odds are, the other ribs
will debond too.
