Broken Trainer

Yak 54 · 11-11-2006, 08:19 PM

I have an extra 260 but today I was flying my trainer and I dont know why but I couldn't control the plain then it just crashed into a tree. The fuse was just a little busted up, but the wing is real jacked up and I'm going to try to fix it up. It's a tear in the wood and i'll get some pics later to post.

geez i wish i lived closer, i could help you fix it, ok heres some advice
(for pic 2 & 3)
1. cut the covering away
2. cut the broken wood out so the piece is flat and not jagged
3. your going to need some triangle stock for the front of the wing
4. add some baces going accross for support and to wrap your sheeting over
5. take balsa sheeting and take a few measurements
6. glue into place using ca
7. sand the triangle stock and the sheeting to contour the wing gradually bringing the grit to 300-400
8. use wood filler and cover the holes and repeat 7
9. recover!

I would have suggested the same thing to him but the left wing is only hanging on by covering so he has to do some work.
