Grumman AA-5B Issues

A good one on the AA5's which was always a good one was the flying controls delaminating along the trailing edge. Also the trailing edge of the wings and stabilisers are prone to delimitation, if I remember rightly you can just re-bond and repair with shallow head counter-sunk rivets.
Also the nose leg ovality check can catch a few people out, it is required inspection to paint strip a certain area on the 'bent' section of the leg and see if the leg has been squashed effectively (hope this makes sense) ultimately if it is out of limits a replacement nose leg is required.

Cheers
