While I agree with you, the odds of me having days -- or even hours -- free to take a crack at fixing them are slim and none. Assuming that it IS OK for an owner to work on wheelpants themselves (as it seems to be) then if I were you, I'd find a local composite aircraft builder and offer to pay them to fix the pants. I bought prefabricated wheel pants for my COZY MKIV for $250, and the repair you've described would take me about 2-3 hours, max. Hell, if I lived anywhere near you, I'd do it for nothing, just to see how the "certificated" wheel pants were constructed. $2500..... That's unbelievable..... Crap, even $1K is unbelievable. If this guy things (at $60/hr) that it's going to take him 15 hours to fix the pants, then he hasn't got a clue about composites. -- Marc J.
