Question - trash or treasure?

[brian_thomas]

I have acquired a box with a wing kit for what I think is an Acro Sport, from a school cleaning out their former aero building. The box contains wood parts for spars and ribs, four leading edge skins (.020 2024-T3 ALCLAD), and a few other aluminum trim parts. All parts are dusty, and the kit is (very) incomplete.

My question for the forum - treasure or trash?

Definitely not trash. What you got there is "stock". I find having stuff like that around is very helpful when somebody needs a piece for a project.

Thanks for your input. I called the (not-quite) local EAA chapter - the material found a good home with someone building a wood plane.
