Dear Dimona Owners, I am Gyozo and I have a Dimona with 2000 hours. The last 500h was flown by me. :) Now we made the 500h maintenance and realized that there is a wooden board in the fuselage below the box of containing the main spars of the wings. It is strange that in the maintenance manual there is no hint of wood as structural material. Does anyone know what is the role of that wooden plate? It can be seen only from the rear after the removal of fuel tank. A mirror of endoscopic camera has to be put in the central canal where the rods to the rudder run. Such way you can see upwards the lower surface of the sparbox which is covered with that wooden plate.
I have heard from one pilot that this wooden plate might have been replaced by a plastic one at the 3000h overhaul but he did not remember who told it. For sure that place is not accessible. The only way to do anything there is that the fuselage has to be cut from below. Your help would appreciated if anyone knows what is the role of that wooden plate, or if anyone has the detailed technology of 3000h overhaul. With many thanks and best regards Gyozo --------------------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to the Dimona Owners Group mailing list.
