The photos show a definitely-not-rolled-into-a-ball Cub, the sort of
thing we'd have called "minor damage" in reference to an old skool
PA18 towplane.


I distinctly remember seeing repair guidelines for all of the damage
visible in AC43.13. Did these guys lose their copy, or are they making
Cubs out of Tempered Unobtanium these days?

I'd say it's Cub Crafters wanting to sell a new fuselage. That, or
their legal department trying to mitigate liability.

It did say APPROVED method of repair. Like my Dad used to say, "It
ain't worth S$%^& if you ain't got the paperwork for it... I don't
care what you pulled it off of"


Uh huh. The problem isn't necessarily the difficulty or cost of
repairs, but rather the difficulty or cost of proving the completeness
of the repair.
