Anybody know the best way to fix a pin hole in the wing (ultracoat). My fuel line was rubbing on the firewall and it looks like it cut a hole in it and when the plane went dead stick, it was way out over the soybean field. Couldn't get it back to the runway so it landed gently in the beans so no structural damage, but the beans plants are dry and hard and it poked a couple pin holes. My baby got its first battle scars.
Oh well, could have been worse!
Hey Bigal
Im not sure if this is the best way but it is certainly a method that Ihave seen used quite a bit and its a method that I use.If its just a small hole then just cut a round piece of ultrakote and stick it on as if it was a bandaid (I think that what you guys call them).
Just make it big enough to cover her hole and that way you keep the weight down.
Hope this helps and sorry to hear about the stall.....good flying though, could have been a lot worse!!
Regards
