Default RE: repairs for beginners


ORIGINAL: Sneasle

I am working on a similar repair on an Avistar Dave.

I think I will follow your route and post a repair thread for it. I have 2 wings to repair (2 separate wings, long story, don't ask), need to glue in the firewall I cut last week after I drill the proper holes in it, and then reglue the rudder in (will probably put small verticle dowels into the rudder and the fuse to add some strength.

I don't have much time to work on it currently, so maybe during x-mas break I will get some done.
I'm glad I can help, and just remember repairing takes time, be very patient, do a good job and have fun or it's not worth it.

so tonight i glued in the ribs and clamped them down, glued in what i call fish heads, which are just the fronts of broken ribs. and where the front of the rib is broken but can yet still fi in a full rib directly beside it.

I also started preping the flight skin by making sure there was a perfect fit all around. Lastly I fix a few craks i the fuse.
