Default Wing recovering

Hello,

I have a thunder tiger windstar 2m sailplane which I have had for years and hardly ever used. Reciently though I decided to start flying it. I have had reasonable success so far but one thing I would like to do is to recover the wing if at all possible. The wing has been damaged in storage. It has a hole in the covering which at the moment is covered by tape and I think part of the rear of the wing has broken (can feel movement).

1. Is it possible to recover this type of plane (ARTF)? The covering seems very sticky as if it would pull all the balsa apart.

2. What to use to replace the covering?

Thanks,
