ASW15 small talk, questions and answers


Anonymous Visitor	Balsa Wing Life - 2004/04/15 14:43 I know that there is an AD about checking the Balsa in the wing, but what are the options if fungus is found, and have there been any 15's that have had to be scrapped because of this?

birddog Visitor	Re:Balsa Wing Life - 2004/04/15 14:43 Ya I'm thinking of buying one of these and would like to know the answer to this question ? Also where can I get a copy of the AD?

Re:Balsa Wing Life - 2004/04/15 14:44 Fungus is rarely found in 15's. It happens whem the plane is stored in a very humid space for quite some time. Also by my knowledge it is only possible with the older planes.

If you plan to buy a 15, you're making a good choice, let a aviation technician check your plane to be. And not only the the wing.

Cheers

ron Visitor	Re:Balsa Wing Life - 2004/04/15 14:46 Fungus was found in a ASW 15 in Germany or Austria several years ago after standing in the rain during months with airbreaks open. So now you know how to grow mushrooms.
