KMP Tiger cat wing failure
just purchased plane and picked up wing and set on fuselage, reached to get bolts and wing dropped on both sides. Does anyone have a suggestion for repair, maybe epoxy,??????
|
have any pics of whats needs to be repaired
|
I'm assuming this is an ARF. In which case I'd be on the phone to the manufacturer/distributor. Basically demanding a new wing NOW!
|
Cant find the company, i purchased it used,,

Did the wing split at the center butt joint. Maybe epoxy with a fiberglass wrap will help. More info needed. Picture will help. BTW, I flew into Coleman Airport, twice, many years ago. Loved that country view from the air. |
Well, I had to do a little research on this plane. If I am looking at the right model, it is a twin engine warbird. The wing has a center section with 2 outer removable wing panels. So if this is the airplane, your problem may be how those wing panels attach. So definitely more info is needed and preferably some pictures. |
fixable going to need to remove the bottom sheeting at least showing 3 rids one towards the front where the cheat spar is an same at the back..make up a doubler out of 1/4 ply an laminate it to the broken one in the front cut notches so it slides down an glue away.. with normal building skills you shouldn't have a problem fixing...looks like Kmp quality..

Needs at least 1" alum tube spar.
1/8th ply spar is a joke. |
