Best way to repair Sig 1/4 scale Cap wing.
I was doing a low high speed pass over the runway when I smacked a wooden pole I couldn't see with my left wing. Not knowing what happened and only noticing a sudden yaw and roll trim change I pulled up and went around for a landing. I landed safely and was shocked to see half an aileron dangling from the servo and the wingtip completely gone. The wing is shredded from the third rib out. I don't know how it flew like that... I will post a picture as soon as I can find my camera.
Anyway, what’s the best way to repair this? The third rib and everything towards the center is OK, everything towards the tip, about 6 or 7 inches is shredded. Can this be repaired to withstand High-G maneuvers without redoing the whole wing?

RE: Best way to repair Sig 1/4 scale Cap wing.
You might be best to buy a wing kit from Sig. It sounded severe enough that to do it yourself would require getting a drawing of the wing. You need a diagram of the ribs so you can cut new ones out and see where they go.
