I have a 37.5% aviation models Yak with the improved wings. They doubled up on the ribs and probably caused the tube socket to squeeze inward at the ribs. The result is if I don't do something to enlarge the sockets in the wing I will have to get a trailer that is 12 feet wide. It took 3 people to pull it apart at the field. I was planning on making a tool with some sandpaper and spinning it with a drill. Anyone out there with some suggestions?
