Hi
Can anyone tell me the the thickness of the flaperon skin on a Model =
IV 1200. I'm away from home and my construction manual, and would like =
to order aluminum to repair my flaperon.

If were you I would go the building supply place and get the
thinnest Al they sell. Last time I did that I found it was 0.016"
thick. It is hardened so if you need some bend then you will have to
anneal/normalize it with your torch. Its unlikely that Skystar used
anything thinner.

Tim,

What kind of damage does your flaperon has? How will
you repair the skin?

Thanks,

Francisco.

Francisco;

In my unfortunate accident I snapped off the last few feet of my right
wing. When the wing hit the ground the last three feet of my right flaperon
also hit the ground and has some crinkled damage to the skin. The flaperon
spar is undamaged so I will cut and remove the damaged skin section, replace
the foam ribs on the spar and replace the skin overlapping and blind
riveting it to the undamaged skin on the inboard side. That's the plan
anyway, we'll see how it goes.
