To all:
For everyones information we did a visual
inspection of the spar and center section when our Ercoupe 415C was
restored. The method used was a "Video
Sigmoid-o-scope" manufactured by Welch Allyn, Inc. The comany
makes very high teck inspection equipment for hospitals and industry. I
talked to them today and they welcome calls about the equipment. Call them
at the following:

For you who haven't had a colonoscopy and I suggest
everyone has one around age 50 it is very effective when used to inspect the
colon and also for down the throat into the small intestine. The doctor
can see everything on a video screen as we could see everything on the spar and
center section. The A.I. that did the inspection put it into the log book
as completed. Also he found nothing out of the ordinary which is good to
know. The scan is so accurate that you can see every detail including
scratches, etc. I watched him do it and was amazed how he could
maneuver the probe around things. Just the same as the doctor
does when he goes in you know where and thrugh the intestines.
I have had a colonoscopy every 5 years for the past
20 years and on two occasions they found poloyps. They were benign but are
considered pre-cancerous if not removed. If the Video
Sigmoid-o-scope is good enough for my insides it is good enough for our
Ercoupe inspection.
The machine is hard to get but I was told by the
company that they also build an industrial version of the unit. If you are
interested call them:
Hope this information help!
