Update on my aft stub spar replacement

[Hradec]

Just a friendly update, my aft stub is almost completely installed. Found some more corrosion on left and right inboard flap brackets. Also found some corrosion on a spar cap. 

Slow and steady. Got a good start on resurecting this 64e, long way to go.

Been wondering how that was going.    Thanks for posting and feel free to post more pics!

That would be hard to catch.  I’m replacing my wing on a 67’ F because of spar cap corrosion.  I’m lucky I was able to find a wing.  Good on you for keeping the plane from being parts.

Finding a wing and replacing it is a big job. Doing my airplane on a budget. Bought it really really cheap. Thought it just needed a stub spar, now it needs an upper spar cap. Parts are cheap and my labor is even cheaper. Lots of sweat equity.  Only problem is finding a good reliable bucking partner.

I have lots to do on the rest of the aircraft. Short cut annuals last several yrs by previous owner. Lots of catching up to do.

You save no money getting a pencil whip annual. All of the corrosion could have been caught several yrs ago.

Buyinga flying airplane for 60-80k just isnt my style. Bleeding  money over many yrs is ;-)
