Gents, Crank

Same repair job, but with paint finish, FIXACRASH 2.

I also prefer wood as the construction material, easy to repair and if you are careful, without extra weight.

My Taurus fuse also was on a moment in two pieces after an low inverted dead stick. Picture 1
The drawing, picture 2, show how I repair: renew the destroyed section by replace new material. Make the glue joint surfaces with a ramp of about 1 : 10. When these glue joints are good you do not have to add extra reinforcements.
During repair I fix the front and backside exact “IN LINE and on RIGHT DISTANCE” on an extra structure of plywood..

The picture of the painting (3) of the repaired section is during last overhauling, only inside the fuselage the glue joints of the crash are still visible.

I only use the old school sheeting and finishing materials, so never glassing or film.
Last picture plane now, more than 5 years old.
