Hi All I'm in the process of doing my annual on 99714, so while I had it all apart decided to go ahead and take the wings off and look at the center section. Except for some dirt along the rear spar everything looked as clean as a whistle. I had about ten different people look at it also, no one found anything. If you put a bright light in the cockpit in front of the main spar you can see the front of the main spar from the outside. After cleaning it out I sprayed some corrosion X in it. The previous owner had the plane for nine years and it sit outside, I've had it for a little over three years and it sits outside. I have 310 hours on the plane and if this rain every stops so I can finish my annual I'm going to put some more hours on it. A friend of mine who restored a coupe from the ground up and won a trophy with it at Sun N Fun a few years ago said that he was surprised at how clean it was on the inside, coming from him that was quite a complement. Taking the wings off is the best way to see the whole inside of the center section, you can't see everything looking through little holes cut in the bottom of the fuse.
