long story short- sort of. I FINAlly got a job flying a Supercub in south florida- banner towing. But I'm concerned about some visible signs of corrosion (red rust) on many of the bolts & cables. They have owned the plane a few`years- prior to that the maint history is missing.
When i asked the A&P about corrosion inspections he said it's been inspected- and the owner said its been inspected every 100.... But the truth is, I got the feeling he & the A&P had not given it much thought.
My concern is that this airplane has never been examined under the fabric- and considering the information, i think its a good bet. This concerns me- especially considering the coastal location.
I have no experience with these aircraft- and I'm not sure whats "normal" and acceptable in terms of visible corrosion . I'm looking for some good advice from those that know- BTW- I am VERY excited about flying this airplane- but feel its not worth it if i have to worry about pulling the wings off during a pick up.
