RV 6A Deer Strike Repair
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking for someone in the San Antonio, or surrounding area, interested in helping me repair my 6A. Eight weeks ago I hit a deer after touchdown. The strike was mid span on the right wing. The main spar appears to be straight except for a wrinkle in the last outboard section. The wing will need a few new ribs and reskinning. The fuel tank is damaged and will need to be replaced. The other damage is to the rear spar attach point. The attach point doublers are bent and there is some wrinkling of the lower skin. The doublers will need to be replaced as well as the lower skin. The interior seat pans and other interior panels are straight, no damage. If there's anyone out there interested, or you can point me to someone, please give me a call, or send an email or pm here. Any and all advice is welcomed. The airplane is located at 23R Devine, Tx, and insured.
