We need to replace a section of wing skin on our L-13 Blanik. Any idea
where we can find the material, other than Blanik America?


Is there any particular reason you can't just use 2024-T3 alclad of
similar thickness? Its probably close enough to the original aluminum
alloy as makes no difference. If you had to, you could send a chunk of
the original skin out for analysis of the alloy and temper.

Thanks, Bob K.
