It seems that Cessna at one point was gluing foam insulation to the carry through spar on the non-strutted 210's and 177's.


Cessna never glued foam to the carry through spar of the 177, only the 210.

Vince,
Thanks for the clarification. The bulletins for both mention removing the foam and adhesive, "If installed". I took this to mean they both could have it. My 78 M model (same as the accident plane) looks to have had foam at one time, but it has been removed at some point.

Game over.

Given the low value of early 210s, a corroded carry-through replacement would not be financially viable. Better off to find another plane, transfer over any goodies or low time engine and prop and keep the rest for spares.

Curious to know what he paid the salvage yard for a serviceable carry-through. That part may get much more precious soon, rather similar to magnesium ruddervator skins for a Bo.

This sounds like an epic failure of the pre-buy inspection — presuming he had one done. That corrosion was probably years in the making, and would have been present for the last few annuals and the pre-purchase inspection. Almost certainly the previous owner passed it to your friend, perhaps knowingly, perhaps not, but still, a terrible shame.

Good luck, hoping for a successful outcome.

Sadly I’m inclined to agree with Michael.

Has the rest of the aircraft been closely inspected? Note a lot of 210s had foam in the elevators to stiffen them. These invariably cause a lot of corrosion also.

Most of those have been fixed years ago. Not like the Bo debacle with the Mg empennage flying surface.

I saw a nice looking 210 at AirMod having it's interior overhauled. When they tore it open, they found the spar carry through severely corroded. Similar to the pictures previously posted. They had to put it back together and send it out for repair. I believe it went to the Tennessee shop.

It just shows that if we want to keep these old airplanes flying, we're going to be doing more structural and metal work in the future. Keep an eye on your airframe too when you do inspections.
