Hi all, Given that down the track I will need to refinish my wings, I am curious about the process. I understand that LS/DG will not provide profile information to allow accurate reprofiling of the wings. Is it standard practice to just reinstate the profile that the wing had prior to refinish? Has anyone taken a profile from another aircraft to use, for example using a later LS6-c to reprofile an LS6-b? What about using an LS8 profile on an LS6, since they are supposed to be the same forward section? Thanks, Ben Only the first 4" are critical and I would make 'quickie' templates before stripping the wing. Set wing leading edge up on saw-horses and mark span locations every 18" then make rough cardboard templates starting at the root. Place wax-paper over L/E and goop up your rough template with Bondo and lower them onto each indicated location. After the Bondo dries remove and sand the edges to leave only the center 1/4" template. Be sure to mark each template 1 through 16, or so. Then start the fun part, with a Porter-Cable, variable speed electric orbital sander using 60 grit, 6" sticky back disks..................remove all the gelcoat down to, but not including the fiberglass structure. Check back after the 2 weeks this may take and I'll give you the next step in you all Winter project. Cheers, JJ |
