Not often you see a demiplane.

A follow up from the last post.

PCK has been sitting in a hangar, looking sad and asymmetrical, after an unfortunate incident involving rolling backward down a slope and colliding with a car.

The right aileron was destroyed and two outboard ribs were buckled. Luckily there was no spar damage. The wing and new aileron are back and we are just waiting for our AME to come over and carry out the reassembly.

I had never seen a Scout or Citabria with a wing off before and I was surprised by the tiny spar carry-through structure. Not much bigger than 1” square section tubes.
