<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=588005213-11082006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> It sounds like they didn't install a false rib out
at the end of the tube.... The foam is breaking up and there is no support
for the wing tube. You are correct about installing a rib. A
lot of the guys flying Impulses had the same problem. The wing was built
without a rib to hold the wing tube. The fix is exactly what you describe
below. Cut a slot in the bottom of the wing and install a
rib.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

"help"<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I am unfamiliar with that adhesive, what is the brand name and where would
I get it. This sounds a lot simpler than what I was planning. Will that glue run
into whatever empty spots there are in there? Will it not pool up into clumps
and just glue the small area at the point of injestion? What do I clean it up
with?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was thinking about a rib installed from the bottom. I thought I might cut
a slot in the sheeting and through the foam about two inches in from the
outboard tip of the phenolic. I could clean the slot up with my soldering iron
and make it real straight and uniform. Then I was going to cut an airfoil
shaped rib and glue it into the slot. A little light filler, some
sanding and some monokote and it should be as good as new. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What do you guys think about that idea? Do you think it will be strong and
light enough? It is certainly more labor intensive and time consuming, but
my goal is peace of mind. I don't want to worry about my wing folding
every time I pull a square manuever or perform a snap
roll. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again for your help!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's best to use the polyurethane glue as Bob
recommended. It's going to expand to fill the void and it's going to be
alot lighter than epoxy. I've done this repair successfully on 35% gas
stuff and it really holds up well. The only downside is that it's
messy. You have to either mop up affter it while it is catalyzing and
oozing out of the holes, or else shave it off a razor later on. I think it's
easier to mop & lightly sand when cured. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I was just about finished setting up my
Odyssey when I noticed that the wing seemed a little loose. If I hold the
fuselage the right wing panel can wiggle up and down a noticable
amount. I thought that maybe the tube mount at the fuse was loose but
that was not the case. As it turns out, the phenolic in my completed wing is
loose about 3/4 of the way down and is wiggling around. It almost feels like
the foam in the sheeted foam core wing has been somehow dislodged
and the phenolic is in just a hollow cavern instead of solidly glued to
the wing. It is still glued solid at the root so it won't slide out,
but it obviously can not be flown in that
condition.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
