Well, I finally did it. After six years of flying pattern, I finally caused
damage to one of my planes. Engine died on the landing pattern and I could
not get back to the runway. Did manage to catch a fence in the process though.
Caused minor damage to one of my wings. I have already removed a section two
inches wide by 1.5 inches deep, cleaning out a gash that was created by the
fence. My question to this list is about the repair. I have done repairs like
this before, but never on a wing as thin as this, and never on an airplane
that I care as much about doing a bang up job on (pun intended) fixing properly.
I am a little concerned about making sure the repaired area is strong
enough. The damaged region is 2 inches outboard of the landing gear so at least it
is not in a very highly loaded zone. Any suggestions people may have would be
appreciated. Thanks.
