sandwiched between the corrugated skins? That's what one of the IA's

suggests, other than replacing the skins, which would cost an arm and a

Another option (more expensive) would be to install the trailing edge bead

sold
by BAS I think. It stiffens the trailing edge and helps to prevent

cracks,
dents, bends. About $80 to $100 bucks for the two beads then the labor to

split
the skins and install them.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Thanks. I believe that's the way we'll go and I found the trailing edge
bead at McFarlane's and Aircraft Spruce.
