IS-28 Fuselage Construction by
smjmitchell
Hi All,
Can onyone tell me if the skins on the forward fuselage of an IS-28
are flat wrapped or compound curved (i.e. stretch formed).
In other words would it be easy to rebuild the forward fuselage using
sheet stock or would it be necessary to buy the preformed skins.
Thanks,

Mid-Air at Turf Soaring by
Herbert Kilian
This morning I read in the Chicago Tribune about a mid-air between a
2-33 and a Piper Cub at Turf Soaring in AZ. Each aircraft was
carrying two passengers, all died in the crash.
Does anybody have more detailed information on the accident or links
to articles in the Phoenix press?

Tail Skid Help / Advice by

Would anyone please provide advice on how to fix a
tail skid problem?
