 |
|
Having very little experience with tube and fabric aircraft, like the Kolb,
I have a rather elementary question. On metal-skin airplanes, there are
inspection covers that permit examination of the wing's interior structure.
Is there any similar structure on a fabric covered wing? Is there any easy
way to inspect the interior structure of a fabric covered wing?

Chris, you can get inspection cover rings and inspection covers from Spruce and Wick's.

And my experience is, get the recessed inspection plates, especially for the area affected by propwash... They won't dance and fall off...

I figured somebody had figured out how to do it for a fabric aircraft.
Thanks!

Yes.
Same inspection cover. A nylon ring is cemented to the fabric with a
patch over the top. After the fabric is finalized, all dope and
paint, the inside the nylon ring is cut out and an inspection plate
insterted, after the plate is painted to match that area of the
fabric.

PS: Don't have to cut out the ring until the first time you want to
inspect.
