Remember, I did glass repair, body work, and straight and custom
painting for several years, so I can work pretty quickly. You might figure on doing a little at a time over a couple of weeks. Now is the best time of year to do this type of work because it is not excessively hot or humid. It is more comfortable for you to cover up more, and paint loves 75 degrees with 50% humidity. Thanks for all the tips, Mike (and all). My A&P is going to have a crack at them tomorrow, reinforcing the stressed areas with sheet aluminum and re-drilling the holes. He's estimating "no more than $1000" (ouch!), but I'm hoping for far less. He's an experienced fiberglass and sheet metal guy, and new ones would cost well over $2500. These are the times that owning an airplane doesn't look quite as attractive as renting... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
