HI and Thanks,

to everyone who has answered. Quite an education I must say. It was
quite a disappointment to find the plane I bought 15 months ago, has
such a severe problem.

I never thought that those full stall landings might be what was
keeping the wings on.

Here is the best photograph I have seen of intergranular corrosion on
Fig2

Mine looks worse.

The good news is that everything else (and everywhere else) looked good
through the annual inspection. We have a lead on two wings and my A&P
should be calling today.

I've been on the Usenet since 1987 and I continue to be amazed at the
expertise and the willingness of it's members to share information and
experience .
