Eurosport wing damage
ARGH!!!!!......
I found some damage on my wing
There is a wrinkle on the lower side from the LE and stops at the retract unit.
I have tried to jerk the retract unit around to make the skin wrinkle again, but the stress doesn`t apear to go that direction.
Maybe I accedently crushed the wing when handling the plane....I dont know [&:]
Anyone seen this kind og damage before?
I have soaked a few layers of carbonfiber in 24 hour epoxy, and layed it on the inside.
do you think the repair is good enough?
would you have done something else ?
Thanks, SJ.

RE: Eurosport wing damage
My wing shipping box was damaged severely and so I looked everything over pretty good. I did have to repair the root rib on one wing. I sent pics of the damage to Composite-ARF and they sent me a shirt and a cap for my trouble.
My pipe was also damaged.

RE: Eurosport wing damage
Is this general, that the ES always is damaged when received?? Do you ever complain to the post-departement or directly to the factory?
I mean, Its a nice plane, and its a shame if the problem just comes from bad packing and transport... [
