Fixing endcap dent
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2017 7:23 pm
I believe the shop that worked on my Avion put a dent in the endcap of my Avion a couple of years back and they did not report it
I noticed it several months later.
Found a fix based on Airforum member T. G. Twinkie's post. Put a tube on the dent, and a piece of plywood (that had a small hole drilled in the center) on top of the tube, and then used our vacuum cleaner to pop out the dent. I believe its 90% fixed! I used our personal vacuum cleaner (not a shop vac). I expect better results with a shop vac.
Here are some photos.
