Thanks for the advice and link. That how-to is something I have done on past models years ago, and was just hoping to avoid going through all of that. It has always been a MAJOR hassle to get the airfoil back to the original and intended shape with that method. At least for me.

I did wet the sheeting. It would have cracked had I not.

As I said, I was hoping I would not have to cut the sheeting. It's a pain to get the same airfoil on the repaired section. *sigh* Better than having to buy a new center wing kit though.

I think I'll finish up the top of the wing, then worry about the repair before I put the bottom sheeting on. I have a feeling it's going to be something of a hassle, but at least I used a wood glue here instead of CA. It'll be easier to sand back down to the original shape.

Any advice on getting this section of sheeting, both the repaired part and the original part, back to the same airfoil shape as the rest of the wing? When I cut the center part out the sheeting between the rib and the next rib is going to be very difficult to shape correctly.
