Ok I will grab a new O.S 46AX for the Tiger.
Have had a couple of things come up at the moment so work has temporarily halted on the Arrow. At least for the next week or so at least.
I have all the wing ribs reinforced. Not sure if what I have done is a bad thing or not, but I have simply cut strips of balsa and glued them over the cracked sections of the ribs after I "jigged" the wing with some bits of ply to hold everything in shape.
Got the full story on the crash of my Tiger today from one of the guys out at the field. Apparently the plane was only 2 weeks old and the owner put the plane into a flat spin from a high altitude and the plane wouldnt come out of the spin. It flat spun all the way into the deck which is most likely why all the ribs are broken.
At least it is all repairable. Cannot wait to get this plane in the air. Just might take me a while as I have never done this sort of thing before. Still have to get the measurements etc off the complete Arrow Tiger the club member has.
Whats the best way to take the measurements off the complete plane?
Am guessing I am going to have to take measurements of the bulkheads in the nose of the good one and somehow get the curve of the nose correct or it isnt going to look right. Any hints or tips on how to go about this properly ?
