Wing tip repair

This is a 12000 hour Cessna 182, the cracks are found in the corner of the web, hard to see. Once the crack was found the aircraft was grounded, no ferry permit allowed. We spent three long days and travel to get the job done

 After removing the tail we found that an earlier replacement of the tail bulkheads with a later model 180 bulkhead, probably because of the plane going over on its back, was not done very well…….

 Everything can be repaired but some things take longer than others. We took on this job with an idea of how much time but that usually changes as you disassemble. We were lucky that the nose gear survived and the firewall was still in good shape, it does have a few creases but still serviceable….
