control surface
A wheel barrow load of dry ice packed up next to the rudder skins.....???? The answer/fix you probably don't want to hear, is to re-skin them. Or find a decent replacement rudder (?) Bela P. Havasreti '54 C-170B N170BP I've heard of the dry ice trick. I've also been told it has no effect. Can the s...

Exactly right. Any hopes of a fix?gahorn wrote:Collapsed? Like someone has been polishing them too aggressively and maybe overheated and "dished" them.
