<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I replied, but the lousy email source
we are on ate the message I do believe..as there is no record so I will
type it again..</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Only one photo opens-call behind canopy
and it is blurred, but I think I see the failure. I will not be able
to send any material this week so if you are in a big hurry (repair
this weekend) you can use fiberglass. To repair saturate the inside core
material with epoxy about 1 inch past the damage. Use 3-4 oz fiberglass
and wet lay up over the damage plus 1 inch. So have a 2 inch wide piece
of fiberglass for the repair. After the inside repair cures, try to flex
the area that was damaged...if the damaged area does not flex then you
are done...it is flexes easily then sand and remove all paint and primer.
Wet layup a patch of 2 oz fiberglass on the outside. Fill,feather, prime,
paint.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What the repair needs to establish is
reinstating the stiffness of the structure. It will always be much stronger
than needed for flight. Stiffnes =good load distribution and good flight
characteristics.<br>
