Default RE: 35% Sukhoi Wing Problem

Well I took off a big piece of the sheeting on the bottom of the wing and exposed the problem. The wing tube ends in a box that is encompased by a false rib which also includes the outer servo bay. That whole assembly glues to the wing core foam and to the wing skins. The false rib, servo bay and box were all broken loose from the wing sheeting and foam core. With that whole mass sort of free loating it cracked the bottom sheeting and allowed the wing tube to wallow out the foam core towards the wing root.

I took off enough sheeting to remove the rib and servo bay from the wing and expose the end of the wing tube. Next I dug out the bottom half of foam surrounding the tube for about 6 to 8 inches back towards the wing root. The foam core is wallowed out in this area from about 1/8 inch tapering down towards the wing root. My first repair step will be to try and Gorilla glue the tube back to the wing foam, filling the gaps and securing the end box to the top wing skin. If that works I hope to be able to reglue the servo box and wing rib and finish the repair by adding new foam and bottom wing skin.

In the mean time, anyone got a right wing they arn't using?
