RE: Bates 106
Thanks, Peter.

That was too easy!
I got the plans out and referenced my pictures to see where I would have to cut into the bottom of the wing to replace the aluminum bar.
After removing the flap/landing light hatches and wire harness, I'm figuring: why not try bending the bar back in place using the vise, since the bend is not that large.
Three adjustments in the vise and 'all was right in the world'.
With screws at the top and bottom to secure the bar and wing, there should be no flexing.
I like it when the apparent hardest job turns out to be the easiest!
Now, all I need are the gear back from robart, canopies/cowls from Jerry and the new DLE-55's!
