Ed,

Very, very nice. Always enjoy your informative remarks regarding a plane's potential.

I'm still finishing up my Super Stinker but took a few moments this evening to actually look at the damage to the wing on my Tango.

I shook the wing and heard too much rattle-rattle so I peeled the bottom covering off. Hmmm. Not much in the way of woodwork here, LOL.

Here's a few photos. rather than attempt to recut exact replacements, I'm simply going to patch the existing ribs, apply some bracing to them and recover in white.

I got a great deal on 1 meter rolls of brilliant white from Sig. I like Ultracote as my primary covering choice but Aerokote is a very close second!

What do you think about an OS FS40 on this bird? I realize it a smaller displacement but speed here for me isn't as important as torque. I still have that new 50 2-stroker I mentioned before but a 4-banger sure is tempting.

Here's what that wing looks like inside:
