Hi Robert
I have never heard of that inspection, I just check the wood at annual
inspection for soft spots, rot or mold.
The plane has been in a dry hanger, it's whole life, so no problems at all.
I suspect if the builder did not use epoxy to bond the wood, there could
also be glue joint failures.

I was speaking with an MDRA inspector about project Krs and he tells me that
there is reoccurring 10 yr wood spar inspection that has to happen on all
closed in wood spars.
He said that they cut a hole in 3 different bays and look at the glue as it has
10 yr life expectancy.Although he did say most are okay if they have been done
properly in the beginning, kept moisture free and have been shellacked. He also
said it was more about the center spar for KR aircraft as the others are not
fully enclosed.
I am curious what other Canadian owners experience has been in this area.
Have you had to do that every 10 years or is it something that would generally
only happen with a project that one is taking over ?
Bob
