OK, wing pictures as promised. Basically it just had on missing wing tip trailing edge block, a broken rib and several loose glue joints.
- To make the new trailing edge block, I looked at the one on the other side. It is basically a balsa block with the grain running parallel to the span with sheeting running perpendicular on both sides.
- I had a perfect balsa block left over from an old kit or something as well as some scrap 3/32 and 1/16 sheeting.
- I glued the sheeting to the new block just like the original.
- The new block gets glued to the wing.
- After rough carving with an X-Acto and a final sanding to get the shape right, the new wing tip block is in place and as good as or better than the original.
- This broken rig needs to get fixed.
- I could have gotten fancy but I just glued the rib back to the shear web and added a piece of 3/32 balsa to fill the gap from the missing chunk of wood. Not necessarily pretty but easy and more than good enough. I also put a little thick CA into the crack near the front of the rib.
- After hitting all the loose glue joints with CA, the wing is ready for a final sanding and covering.
Now it is on to stripping the covering from the fuselage and fixing whatever I find wrong.<br type="_moz" /><br type="_moz" />
