Is it possible to replace the metal flaps and aelerons on a late model supercub with fabric flaps and aelerons? The type certificate mentions two different production certificates but I have no Idea where to find them. The fabric ones should be much less $$ and easier to recover over repairing my damaged metal ones.
 
Flaps and Ailerons

I asked Bill at Stoddards about a set of metal flaps and ailerons. He said that were not availible nor were even the skins from Univair. The last time they were availible they were about $3000.00 each. He suggested if you have a good set to take them off and run fabric ones. If you ever screw one up, it will be hard and expensive to find a replacement. The hangers and everything is the same, so putting them on should be no big deal. I think it would just take a 337 to get them legal since they were on the same TC as the others. Crash
