| Subject: | Re: dent removal question |
Jimmy,
I once ordered a new panel for a Piper aircraft that arrived with a large bend
and dent. I went to a old car restoration shop that did custom hot rod work and
asked them if they could help me out. The owner looked at the piece and said
no problem. We went to the back of his shop where he had a big English Wheel.
He proceeded to fix the panel like new. It took him all of about 3 minuets and
did not charge me anything.

| Subject: | dent removal question |
When I ran a slat into the barn door I couldn't get the entire dent out. The
more I worked at it the worse it looked. Rather than replace the slat I
simply put a rectangular patch of .016 skin over the dent with a few rivets.
It looks a lot better than the dent did.

I hit a small bird with the slats off my wing and dented in a leading edge.
Anyone have any ideas? I might try the heating/dry ice cooling thing. It
wouldn't do any harm I guess. I always wonder if heavier aluminum on the
leading edge might help to prevent some of those dings. After all, we are
not flying at mach speeds. Still, more weight.....
