Hello All - first time poster here. However, I've been reading...alot of reading, over the last couple of years.
So I'm about to take the plunge and have decided to purchase a PA22 Bushmaster (inspection pending). I'm paying an AME to go over the plane prior to purchase and I myself will lay eyes on it for the first time in person in the next couple of weeks. So far, I've only seen it in pictures and videos.
I have a concern about airframe corrosion and am hoping some the crowd can tell me what I'm about to find out based on this picture of the tail section.
For what it's worth, this plane was torn down and stretched to Bushmaster Specs in the early 90's by a known builder in BC.
Here' a pic I have of the tail area behind the baggage
Any insights are appreciated as to corrosion and degree of issues I'm about to discover. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
