Re: Pacer wing rebuild
It would be kind of interesting to see what is behind that patch....

Re: Pacer wing rebuild
I'm guessing there is no engineering data for that, eh?
Mark, I've got those wings sitting here but I think shipping even in pieces would kill us.

Pacer wing rebuild
Nope. Tearing down the left wing. Found repairs not in the log book. Spar splice and four ribs.

Jim:
A friend (in Iowa) needs a set of wings. If you'd like to unload them, send a PM with some condition info and price. It would be awfully nice to find a set not too far away and St. Louis is within the radius of "not too far".
Best regards,

Try brushing lacquer thinner on the tape. It should dissolve the glue.
I wish I had a set of 18 inch pieces of those spars to do my extensions.

Pacer wing rebuild
I'll get back to you on that. I'm almost done disassembling the left wing. Rear spar isn't straight. Has aluminum flat bar added to the angle bar on both sides of the upper web where the wing struts connect to the wing. Tie that to the front spar splice that'll be 4 feet from the wing tip... Not happy with it. I'm almost certain I'll be converting the wings to the 13 rib PA22 160 hp.... And do the aileron move to the wing tip... Stretch the flap.. And decided to use leading edge metal that screws to the spar all the way to the wing tip. Which means... I'll have lots of spar stock if I buy a set of pre drilled Univair spars. Anyway. I'm still at the drain Bramage stage... Haven't figured out exactly what I'll be doing....yet.
Here's a picture of one of the... This ain't right...[l
