Thanks for the response Tom, It would be easy if the type certificate for a Forney had both kinds of wings. Would be the same as two different engines, reference the other model and slam dunk. My IA could not find where the Forney was ever other than metal, ergo fabric isn't airworthy until someone does STC or 337 to make it so. Me, I'm just the owner caught in the middle. The only bright spot in this is that the person who sold it to me is a dealer and also pearsonally signed the annual last year. He therefore certified that the thing was legally airworthy. Not often that the seller is on the hook instead of some poor IA who let something slip by.
