Status: offline 		Can some one please tell me what needs to be done to reinforce the wing on the H9 corsair 60.I found all the info about the fire wall and plan to glass and epoxy that from the inside.Do I do the same to the wing in the wheel well?Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I used 3/4" glass cloth in the wheel well and about 3" on either side of the centerline of the well...both top and bottom of the wing. I used bent epoxy brushes and curved hemostats to apply the epoxy and lay the cloth. I did this before gluing my wing halves together. My wing has been rock solid with numerous hard bouncey landings. I have CJ retracts and I am happy with the way this wing is performing. I noticed my first wing was flexing just outside the wheel well...I could see the OraCote buckle slightly when I picked up the plane by the wing tip to clean it one day. I bought a new wing and glassed it and when I have the time I am going to see if I can repair the original wing.
