Great Planes T-Craft wing saddle
I'm currently working on my second GP T-Craft. My first is in the repair stage due to a rx switch failure. In the crash, the only damage was to the wing saddle area. I noticed that the T Craft does not have any plywood doublers like in the old GP Decathlon kit. Any suggestions as to how I can brace both planes so there will not be any more failures in the wing saddle??

RE: Great Planes T-Craft wing saddle
Under normal loads, the Great Planes Taylorcraft doesn't need more than doublers provided in kit. Crash damage isn't considered a structural "failure" by Great Planes. You could fabricate the doublers out of ply, if you wished. Just be careful of the all-up weight of the model.
