I have only built three planes from kits so far. I recently crashed my Sig 4-Star three times. The first two times damaged the wing in two places with only the spars broken. That was an easy fix.
However, this last time I also had two ribs broken along with those spars. One was complentely crushed away from two or three spares in the front. My question is "is it possible to fix this rib area, or should I give up the ghost? I toyed with the idea of copying the first two or three inches of the front ribs from the drawings and gluing it slightly to the side of the back rib. I don't really know if that is a bad/good idea or not. Also toyed with the idea of simply forgetting the ribs replacement and just redoing the spars and putting on the film covering. Don't know it that is a dumb/good idea either.
I did call the Sig company and found out that a wing kit could be purchased for $60. Owww, that's pretty steep to me!
So how about any suggestions from you guys who really have a lot of rebuilding experiences?
