So after not flying for 16 months, finally got my bird back in annual and was going to go flying this week. :)

Went to wash plane today after getting her back from annual and when I do walk around in hangar, I find right elevator trailing edged creased. :( I was not one who moved plane back to hangar after annual, so not sure when damaged occurred or how, which is not the issue.

Just wanted to get thoughts on whether based on pictures is she is still airworthy? Very slight crease with corresponding ripples in fabric.

If not airworthy, any ideas how much repairs would cost and possible names of folks in San Diego who do good tube and fabric work?

Thanks,

Randy
