Fuse repair (cont)
There were 4 aircraft ply's running from the wing to the fire wall that were broken off. The 4 pieces were cleaned up removing all the old glue and re-attached to their respective positions. A small tack hammer was needed to mesh the broken ends together, insuring all four ends were on the same plane (math plane).
The balsa crutch was removed from that area and new hardwood replaced them for some extra strength along the ply's.
The large 1/4" thick sister ply over former F-3 needed to be cut in half to get a proper fit and also easily sister it to F-3.
Lots of epoxy was used to secure all the parts.
