I have uncovered a few problems with my Dimona that are of concern: 1. The seat belt anchor plates are plywood and have severe dry rot and were not secure in their mounting boxes.
2. The wing spar boxes show some damage from the wings being moved vertically while the spar is still in the box after the pins are drawn back. 3. One of the landing gear bow bracket bolts was not properly aligned and was loose. These repairs are not too complicated but the seat belt issue is a major life safety concern. My ship has about 3000 hours on it so we are doing a very comprehensive annual inspection in preparation for the major inspection due at 3000 hours.
