I'm New Here
Hi, new to the site. Unexpectedly purchased a slightly damaged RV-3 in a Sheriffs auction last week and I am attempting to remove the wings for transport.(figured this would be easy after 30 years of flying ) The aircraft was hangered for one year and the hanger owner attempted to remove the tapered pins with small success. I was able to remove three fairly easily as would be expected however the majority wont budge using a hammer and punch as recommended in a previous thread. Attempted hammer with nut on the bolt with no success and used a air hammer which removed the three but all of the remaining are in to stay. Any help would be greatly appreciated as they want the plane moved ASAP. On a side note I received no logbooks and was wondering if it's possible to determine if he wing spar mod was complied with (aircraft built September 1980). Heard you could contact Vans with the N-number and they would have record of it?
Thanks
Eric
