No Quarter Posted May 31, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2017 Hello, I've had this unknown airplane wing for a while and would like to know what plane it came off of and if it's even military? Thanks, Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted May 31, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2017 It looks to me like an elevator from a small aircraft. Can you give us some measurements? Does it have any markings such as a data plate or part number? Is it the same color on both sides? More information is needed for even a chance at identification.

No Quarter Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 31, 2017 It is the exact same color on both sides. There are no numbers or markings of any kinds. The measuremnts are 5 feet tall and 2 1/2 feet for the width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted May 31, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2017 Could it be for a helicopter? ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-59A Posted July 15, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 15, 2017 All US military aircraft have a maker's prefix number either installed, stamped or embossed. Look for something like 32-xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted July 15, 2017 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2017 Paint can fill in the stamps. You have to use a damp rag and a flash light held at an angle to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted July 27, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 27, 2017 It's not a wing section. It is the control flap from a rudder. The tapper from top to bottom, the notch out at the top, the three connection points to the main rudder and the aileron on the tail to control trim. What I did not see was zinc chromate paint inside the rudder. The construction is like WW2 era military aircraft, but the same type construction was industry standard. You need to find the numbers or heat treat stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted July 28, 2017 Share #9 Posted July 28, 2017 Is there a stamp on the rudder control on the bottom section. Most cast or milled parts have a number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Quarter Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted July 28, 2017 I'll have to look for stamps and numbers. I still haven't found anything but i will keep looking. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
