Default Tomahawk/ Skipper

Hmmm,
Maybe find one cheap enough..and for me that takes some doing! HAHA The
wing rebuild would be a blast. To bad they don't meet the sport category :
( . But one day if I have the room , it'd be nice to tinker on one, or a
Skipper as well. My basement shop is getting alittle full now with Luscombe
parts and Volksplane parts! Ahhhh the dilemma of another plane. I need
some land and my own hangar...just have to keep dreaming for awhile.

I've never flown one but I will say I have noticed their cost. Seem to be
easily obtainable from 16-20G . I may have to do alittle checking into
the wing problem. Can the wing be rebuilt, or does it have to be red
tagged after those hours? Rebuilding a wing is alot of fun, for me
anyhow, if that was allowable?

Of course you could remanufacture a wing. However, IIRC the life limit is
well over 10k hours, and there are plenty of 3,000 to 4,000 hour Tomahawks
out there. It might not be worth the time and expense right now...
