Sunday was a little discouraging, found some problems with the keel and center strut area between station 5 and 7. Thats the section from the main gear to the air stair. Because of some of the previous problems in the forward keel, I noticed that someone had put a ton of sealant in the belly behind bulkhead 5 and 6. Sure enough there was inter-granular corrosion underneath a quarter inch of sealant. I dont have pictures of the damage because the battery in my camera died, but I did take a bunch on the shop camera and will upload them soon. I do have pictures of the result , drilling out the keel and the side cap. Eventually the port skin will be drilled off.
