Re: Piper SB1161/rib replacement update

How many AMU's is all this going to set you back Jack? Sounds salty.... I am crossing my fingers that the 9 AMU annual of last year dosn repeat itself next month for annual # 2 (please no flames about the difference between an annual as most of us refer to it as, and the technical annual inspection).

Right wing is done. Left wing top rivet work is done and bottom rivet work is in progress. Should be airworthy before the end of next week.

GNS-430 is back from Garmin (had to comply with an AD and get a hardware & software update done).

Cheapest part installed on the plane to date: $6 luggage door strap from Ground Tech. Has absolutely nothing to do with the rib repair...but it's nice to know that not *everything* costs an arm and a leg. Well, ok, nearly everything...but at least not a luggage door strap.
