<div>Actually, this is my back up / soon to be primary plane. I was getting ready for the maiden this weekend when I noticed it was a little loose.

It's going to<BR>> expand to fill the void and it's going to be alot<BR>> lighter than epoxy. I've done this repair<BR>> successfully on 35% gas stuff and it really holds up<BR>> well. The only downside is that it's messy. You<BR>> have to either mop up affter it while it is<BR>> catalyzing and
oozing out of the holes, or else<BR>> shave it off a razor later on. I think it's easier<BR>> to mop & lightly sand when cured. <BR>> <BR>> Ed<BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: Jay Marshall <BR>> To: 'NSRCA Mailing List' <BR>> Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 6:48 AM<BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Wing tube phenolic<BR>> repair "help"<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> How about a hypo and some epoxy?<BR>> <BR>> -----Original Message-----<BR>> From: nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org] On<BR>> Behalf Of Anthony Abdullah<BR>> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 10:43 PM<BR>> To: NSRCA Mailing List<BR>> Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Wing tube phenolic<BR>> repair "help"<BR>> <BR>> I was just about finished setting up my Odyssey<BR>> when I noticed that the wing seemed a little loose.<BR>> If I hold the fuselage the right wing panel can<BR>>
wiggle up and down a noticable amount. I thought<BR>> that maybe the tube mount at the fuse was loose but<BR>> that was not the case. As it turns out, the phenolic<BR>> in my completed wing is loose about 3/4 of the way<BR>> down and is wiggling around. It almost feels like<BR>> the foam in the sheeted foam core wing has been<BR>> somehow dislodged and the phenolic is in just a<BR>> hollow cavern instead of solidly glued to the wing.<BR>> It is still glued solid at the root so it won't<BR>> slide out, but it obviously can not be flown in that<BR>> condition.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Question:<BR>> <BR>> How do I go about repairing the foam that the<BR>> phenolic mounts to? The wing is sheeted, covered,<BR>> and trimmed (complete) and I would like to keep from<BR>> having to start all over again. Getting out the old<BR>> one will also be an issue as it is still partially<BR>> glued in. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
