repairing
Hi Guys
I have an ARF trainer that I need to repair. I punched a hole in the leading edge of the wing, damage was small but I have never put the covering on the the plane and there for I'm not sure as how to go about it. Should I just cover the area with the damage or should I cover a larger area around it?
Thanks for any help.

Ditto on the above. But if you are bent on using covering and the hole extends out to the ribs then cut away the punctured covering forming a square in between the ribs. Then recover leaving anyware from 1/4 in.- 1/2in to overflap the stock covering. But be carefull to not burn a hole in the stock covering during the operation.
