Default Avistar Wing replacement

After the oak tree ate my plane it is apparent that I need to either A: repair the wing or B: replace the wing. I will need to replace about 5 ribs and fix the leading edge in 2 spots. Is there a place to get the dimensions of the ribs or should I copy it the best I can.

Is there a cheaper alternative than the $80 replacement wing???

Thanks.

Fix it. Copy the ribs as best you can. UNLESS ..... you know someone with a foam cutter. Get a root rib and a tip rib and cut your own foam wing. Faster to build and maybe a tad bit stronger.

Default replacement

Is the rebuild and covering and your time worth more than 80.00, The reason i ask is if you do not have the extra balsa laying around. the time you spend plus the money rebuilding and covering you can get this thru tower the whole arf every day for 90.00 tom
