Default RE: Cub Repair After Recent Rebuild

This next group of photos show the root rib of one of the wings and its repair. I had to replace the portion of the rib that contained the T-nut for securing the wing to the fuselage cabin. As you can see, a short piece of rib was fashioned and it was made so that it could be placed inside the existing rib. This piece is actually bigger than the hole it is placed in. If you turn it a bit on its side, it can be slid in behind the existing rib and epoxied in place. i used a socket head machine screw placed in the T-nut to allow placement.

Another piece of plywood was cut and inlayed in the rib over the repair.
