Piper 235 tail skin

: It might be the difference between an old manual and a current one. I have
: an ancient copy of the PA28 service manual and it doesn't prohibit control
: surface skin repairs. When a crack jumped the stop-drill hole on my rudder,
: my IA declined to repair it (had to reskin). We compared service manuals and
: my old one didn't have the prohibition, but his current one did. Word on a
: Piper forum was that the prohibition was added to the PA28 manuals by Piper
: in the 90s (which would explain why my old skin was stop drilled).

: John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)

I can find no such prohibition in my service manual (P/N 753-586, Feb 27, 2004). It contains
information (skin thickness, checking balance, etc) on how to do it.

That's strange. When my IA showed me his current manual (on CD), it had
the prohibition. As I recall, it was worded the same as described in Dave's
post above.

Might want to check that P/N on the manual. Yours is a hershey-bar -180, right? I was starting
to think that only the taper-wings had the prohibition in there.

Good point. My old manual covered all of the PA28 variants. I wasn't
aware that they now had separate manuals for the tapered wing models.

Thanks,
