 |
|
Well I started to cover my wing, did the concave side and looks good but I cut the fabric where the rib comes out for the flapron to attach and cut it off an inch to far to the side and up about 2 1/2 inch from the trailing edge My question is can I patch the cut or do I have to cut it back to the rib cap and redo the hole bay ? This is the last bay out on the wing tip, I have just the concave side done now, but I heat shrunk that side of wing the cut expanded to about 1/2 inch wide anyhelp?

Jerry, you can patch it. Check the repairing section in the polyfiber manual. You poly tach a patch (piece of fabric) over the tear then shrink it to pull the tear back together. The manual will tell you how much overlap you need. If you are lucky the finish tapes you put over the rib and trailing edge will hide the repair. In any case the patch will make the strength good as new. Give it a try and if you don't like how it turns out or looks you can replace the whole bay fairly easy. As you progress with your covering you will be pleased at how easy it is to remove a mistake and do it over.
