Default RE: Repairing a Airplane wing

From the looks of things you're primarily looking at a recovering job.

That is not terribly difficult, but it may be something out of reach for a novice.

You have two choices IMHO...

1. - Find a local club and get a more experienced member to help you.

2. - Put the airframe aside, pull the components and put them into a new airframe.


Everything you have looks superficially OK, and a new airframe will set you back around $150.00.

If you are not experienced fixing this stuff, you can waste a lot of time and money learning ( not that this is a bad idea in the long run... ).


I approach it from a "am I better off fixing it, or working the hours it would take for me to buy a new airframe" view.

What is your take on that? That may guide your choice.
