Default RE: W/M T34 crash

Well try this first cut the sheeting back to expose all the damage. lay the wing on a flat surface and see how things line up. if it looks good and straight start gluing with epoxy. after it has set cut a spar doubler from 1/8 ply epoxy to both top and bottom spar this should be one piece , one in front and one in back of the spars. do the same with the trailing and leading edges except you can use balsa. and only double inside the wing if any ribs are damaged double them also next re sheet and recover. oh by the way when you lay the wing halves together remove any splinters that are in the way.
dont forget to redo cg. do a range check set all controls to nuetral and retrim everything in flight.
good rule of thumb when you make a doubler it should be the same thickness as the damaged piece and on 2nd thought use ply on the keading edge
good luck

Sorry to learn of your crash - Certainly not undermining the good advice ashley95 gave you, but, after taking the time to make the mods, align, re-cover, etc, etc, .......you may want to try and contact world models directly, I believe you can purchase a new set of wings: [email protected]. http://www.theworldmodels.com/para/index.php

good luck,
