<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>

<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>

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>
