Don,

I can fully appreciate the shear manpower that it would take to
replicate the P-51's wing spar, as it was made as a sheet-web main
spar and an almost
equally strong rear spar to carry the ailerons and the flaps. Though
simple and cheap to manufacture, repairs were nothing but expensive.
Damaged wing spars meant scraping whole or half wing sections.

I hope this is some help?

This is an old topic, however I finally got a detailed answer from
Rocky. Anyone who wants a copy of his response please send a note off list.

Regards,

DAW
