In fact, I can usually see the bondlines in the wing while in
flight, and you can bet any missing lines would get my attention in a big hurry. Just curious -- why are the bond-lines visible in flight? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Just curious -- why are the bond-lines visible in flight? They're even more visible on the ground. A lot of the bondline is along the edges of structures; for example, the trailing edge of the wing. Bondlines internal to structures (for example, the wing ribs) can usually be discerned by a slight irregularity of the skin.

Just curious -- why are the bond-lines visible in flight? When you're in flight, the lower pressure above the wing tends to cause the skin to bulge up a bit, except where it's bonded to the wing. My Cherokee 180 exhibits this behavior. In flight, you can see the wing skin lifted slightly above the rivet line. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)

I'm gonna have to check that out next flight. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
