This message is to Hartmunt Beil. Thank you for being so helpful. I recently found the trailing edge rib closest to the fuse, under the left wing walk, bad. Thanks to your documentation of your bad rib on the right side of your Coupe, my AP was able to easily replace mine.
"Honey", my Coupe, has had the center section inspected by four AP/Is. (3 times with the wings off and once with a borescope.) It is amazing that no one saw the corrosion. I was determined to not pull the wings again so I put the inspection holes kit in the center section (Thanks for the help from John at Skyport....). I immediately found the bad rib..... It is sure strange how that one rib could be so far gone (it looked just like yours Hartmunt) and there is only surface corrosion anywhere else. Thank goodness the rear spar showed none at all. Thanks again, Bob D. 3047H "Honey" KSVE
