These wings were in excellent restored condition prior to an off field landing that resulted in damage to leading edges and wingtips. They require structural repair and recovering. Fuel tanks and fuel quantity indicators are included and in excellent condition. The left wing contains a leading edge landing light that was added during restoration. The structures include gussets at rib/spar joints as Cessna included in their later design.
I believe that the main spars and ribs are undamaged, and that the parts needing repair or replacement are leading edge skins, right wingtip, and false spar extensions. Corrosion should not be an issue since the structures were completely zinc chromated during restoration.
The wings are located at Richmond Airport (08R) in West Kingston, RI. For further information, contact:
