Default RE: Tiger Tail M.A.N. Construction Article

I fixed a delaminated stab on a Mach 1 by injecting thinned epoxy into about a hundred holes in the sheeting. I then clamped it with deep throat clamps and load spreading blocks. It seemed to work fine. The wing delaminated all over too, but it is just too much to save. Time get some new cores and start over. If you still have the shucks, that would be the ideal situation. Inject epoxy, put back in shucks, and weight them down like crazy.

I had a Phoenix five get a couple of bubbles in the 1/64" ply wing sheeting. I used foam safe CA squirted through a tiny hole. That worked pretty good too. When the battery took a dump, the patched areas were still attached.
