Fuselage skin

Post by nharlow »

Hi all,
I am planning to replace the aft/upper fuselage skin on my 140 to repair some holes left from an old antenna install.

Does anyone have any experience with skins from Univair? Do they fit well or would I be better off to cut one from a sheet?

Thank you

You should contact Lorraine and Ken Morris at www.taildraggeraviation.com. They have replaced many of the skins on these aircraft, and would be able to speak truthfully about any supplier's replacement skins.
