Default Need help with wing.

I started building a kit about 5 years ago. I got the wing, stabalizer and fin done. Well... The wing was almost done when my father in-law crushed it accidentally. Since then my plane has been on hold sitting in the box. I intended on getting a wing kit but never got around to it with small children and no official workshop to build in.

Anyway... 5 years later and I can't order a wing kit. I've searched and searched and I can't find any old paritially built kits to buy or something like that (cheap). Actually, I did find one guy in Dallas that has a full kit, selling cheap but he has refused to ship it to me. ARGH!

I have the plans but I have never built a plane from scratch (I've only ever built one complete kit). Are there any tips or tricks to try and build the wing from the plans? I've heard of people building foam wings for kits that never called for it. Is this a possibility and if so, how do I do it?

Can someone please help me?

Jim.

PS - The plane is a Carl Goldber Super Chipmunk
