Any chance you still have the plans and one surviving rib? If so it would be easy to duplicate the wing.

Here is a link to the building manual: http://manuals.hobbico.com/gpm/gpm-s...ter-manual.pdf

Trust me you'll want if you want to duplicate the wing!

Here is a link to the parts list: http://www.greatplanes.com/parts/gpma0210pl.html

You could try calling Great Planes but the odds aren't good that they have spares but it doesn't cost anything to ask.

Freddie, don't the ribs around the landing gear blocks require doublers?

Yes you are absolutely correct on the doublers.I checked the manual and there are 1/16 ply doublers.that I do not have but look easy to make.I went to the landing gear on the fuselage.

Wing is not repairable?.. would be faster.

I needed a wing kit for this model, too. Since I couldn't find one, I made a rib pattern from the plans, and cut my own ribs.

The rest of the wood is standard stock sizes, purchased from most hobby shops.

From there, it was any easy task to build a new wing.

If you are open to a foam wing:

Just a suggestion. I would move the landing gear to the fuse, just forward of the wing saddle. I use aluminum landing gear screwed in with nylon bolts. Break a bolt, replace it and fly again same day. I built a new wing for mine the same way Tom did. It failed the 'fly through the tree test'. Out poped a fuse with mostly wing stubs. That plane is still in flying shape. Just semi retired. I wore out 2 engines on that plane. Really great plane.
