So we took our flying Acrosport 2 with 1700 hours on it and took it apart.
If that wasn’t enough we then took all the covering off. It had a pretty good ground loop due to a right brake failure and a couple of the pins worn in the tail wheel assembly that wasn’t allowing the tail wheel to turn right with just rudder alone.
Thankfully the spars are in great shape! We did find a broken rib that was unrelated and some glue joints that failed in the aileron cove.
The aluminum leading edges came off rather easily, almost to easy I say. We are going to replace a them with some ply ones from Smizo.
Trim tab bolt
some wearing from rudder cables.
