Sure, you can have a clueless opinion.

Your last one.

See corroberrating link which proves otherwise.

Gibberish.

Does the phrase, "not visible to the naked eye" mean anything
to you?

Maybe that's why things other than naked eye inspection are used.

Ok. I'm listening.

You're saying an annual inspection of an antique plane
can verifiably determine all inner structures, cables, pulleys
(or push rods ) struts, etc. won't fail? (I'm not arguing here)

Well, for starters, things like cables and pulleys have to have inspection
plates just so you can inspect them.

I realize this. I fly Cessna airplanes, and am well aware
of where these access areas are.

Then why ask the question?

And in the cases where there is no inspection plate and "something bad" is
subsequently discovered, there is usually an AD issued to add inspection
plates or some other method of inspection.

See, that doesn't help when I'm dead.

I'm thinking about the Ercoupe here, as an example.

No Ercoupes fell out ot the sky before the AD to add inspection plates.

Fabric airplanes have limited fabric life and tests for the integrity of
the fabric.

I already know that.

Then why ask the question?

Look, I've read newsclips of planes breaking apart with fatalities.
Rotting fabric isn't what I had in mind.

Bull****.

GA airplanes don't break apart unless the pilot does something really
stupid that exceeds design limits.

When tge fabric is replaced, the structure is (supposed to be) inspected for,
as appropriate, corrosion or rot. You did know many of those "antique"
airplanes have wood structures?

Yes. New homebuilts have wood as well.

Also, there are high tech things like magnaflux inspection for starters.

Ok, finally, you're telling me something I'm not familiar with.

Tell the truth; have you ever actually been on a GA airport?

Come on Jim, stop being such an ass. I belong to a flight
school.

Lord help us all.

So you see, I'm a newbee in the cockpit

Obviuosly.

vast knowledge in other areas of aviation. And I have
