Default RE: HELP, broken wing ribs


ORIGINAL: Flying freak

Hello,

I am a noob and have 4 broken wing ribs, 1 has completly failed and 3 are cracked the plane is an alpha 40 rtf. the damaged is only believed to be on the top of the wing. The damage is basically right in the center between the leading and trailing edge of the plane. It is coted in white ultracot.

All this being said, how d i fix it? i have no tools no ultracot and no Ca. but i do want to learn how to fix things like that because im sure it will happen again.

thank you very much for all your help it will be greratly appreciated
Notice what I put in bold in the above quot. Get these things including a hobby knife with severall #11 blades, a sealing iron and some matching covering and dig in. You will be suprised how much fun it is to make your own repairs and take your plane back to the air.
