    I've done two model IV s with similar damage. I suggest repairing as outlined in the AC 43.13 this is the bible for acceptable repairs. If you don't have AC43.13 get it it is an invalueble tool for airplane repair and inspection.

    Wow, sounds like the same guy who ground looped my bird moved up to a SS7 LOL My damage is almost exactly the same, but with more substantial wing damage. I plan on fixing mine....When the stupid lawyers get done.

    To those who have been in the know. She has been unceremoniously kicked out of the hangar and into the grass near a row of derelict 310s (cannibal meat) They did NOT secure her. They did NOT unstop the wings to protect ribs. They did NOT reinstall the turtleneck. So, as I am unable to even go NEAR her, she sits in the elements. Had a competing FBO come out and sandbag and chock her. Like your kid is sick and you can't get her to the hospital......

    You had a ground loop, and they are treating you like your a criminal, for having a ground loop? Good luck!

    paul , as i recall he didn't ground loop the plane . his instructor took the plane with out him knowing it and looped it . now big fight over who's to blame and who pays . between the instructor , the fob that the instructor worked for and the lawyers . seems the only looser here is the owner .

    better check and make sure the old owner did not turn in the Airworthiness cert and show it as destroyed.
    you will not be able to to get it just replaced.

    DK,

    The day after the carnage, I (wisely) removed all ARROW paperwork from the bird. Have the logs, etc. But a good idea to share with anyone! LOL, the more I look at pics of her, the more I have to keep repeating.... Dear Lord, grant me the serenity...
