we purchased a 92 Tiger this spring and currently have it in for paint.
After stripping, the shop noted copious amounts of “Bondo” especially in panel joints, around leading edges and rivet lines. (No known damage history or logged, anyway)
We were concerned about this, and wondered if there was an undiscovered problem or what.
The shop feels that the manufacturer leaned pretty hard on Bondo to smooth out the match lines, etc.
Has anyone else with this vintage of AG airplanes seen or experienced this?
Thanks

Yes AGAC the factory of the 1988 to 1992 vintage planes used bondo to make the plane look slicker with no regard that some parts may have to come off in the future, such as vertical stab, dorsal fin. They also did the fuselage seam bond lines once they saw what James Androin did to his cheetah when he repainted it.
Cheers
