I'm jealous that he can use Solidworks! I can barely get around 2D in Autocad LT.

JD, I guess working in Engineering for 15 years and learning various CAD programs has its advantages.
I am jealous that you know how to fix old airplanes, now THERE'S a talent!

We started pulling the rear spar of the right wing apart today. I put all that steel up last year at this time. I have to survey the upper and lower contours before we do stuff like this so we ensure we still have a viable N.A.C.A. airfoil when we are done. Upper and lower surface planks have all been worked at this point. The "inboard" spar segment is just under 50 feet long each side, with 25 feet of "outboard" spar.

I learned from old guys, but even the old guys and a large compliment of engineers here have never attempted this level of repair and restoration. Lots of pitfalls, so very careful study is required before making moves like this. That is HALF of the inboard section that is open in the pic.

I'll be interested in a lay-down, or maybe even two. If they work well with early R*s, I'm all in favor. I don't want to leave ugly holes.
