A couple of A&P and IA buddies of mine and I have been discussing wing rebuilding possibilities.
Does anyone have plans or know where to obtain plans for a Cessna wing jig?
Are there jigs available for rent or sale near Wichita?
The wings we are interested in are for 150, 152, 172, 175, and 182.
Most likely the 175 and 182 wings would be the first couple of projects. The rest are future possiblities as these are the aircraft owned by the group.
How much to rebuild a 175 wing with some corrosion? We know this is a question which depends on the amount and type of damage. Skins can be fabricated but spars and ribs could be an issue.
The fella with the 175 may opt for some used wings in good condition if the price is right.
This should be an interestion discussion.
Any and all opinions will be taken into consideration.
Don't be shy to say what you think.
By the way.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
The best rebuilt wings for the price I've seen have been done by Williams Airmotive, Kendallville, IN. 219-347-0847
They use jigs and rebuild wings so well the only way you can tell the difference between theirs and Cessna's is , Cessna's has wrinkles on the top. ;Þ
