Can anyone tell me the story about the wings of the L-21B with serial LB-03?
We saw the wings of LB-03 in very bad shape in the depot and according to older reports they have been there for some time.
However the LB-03 is still flying around nowadays. Any info on this will be more than welcome.

Additions/Corrections on the log are always welcome.

Best regards Rob.

From http://belmilac.wetpaint.com/page/Piper+L21B+Super+Cub

In 2000/2002 all the remaining Super Cubs received a major overhaul, during which brand new fuselage frames, new wings and more powerful 180 HP engines were fitted. In reality the L21B's were replaced by new Super Cubs, where only some parts of the old aircraft were transferred to the new fuselages. The "new" Super Cubs are easily identified by their rounded aft window compared to a square one on the earlier models.
