Thermal Instinct F5J Wing Rebuild

Friday evening saw me removing all the old, damaged ribs and cleaning the carbon LE and spar ready to glue in the new ribs.

This turned out to be a very easy and very quick job to do, so much so that I had completed the tip section and still felt I had enough time to complete the middle section too in that evening.





Saturday morning and there was only a little damage to the starboard wing, which was completed in a couple of hours. I did have to cut out some damage to the wash out fin tip and fabricate a new piece. It just needs a little more sanding to shape.



So here are both of the repaired middle and tip sections completed and ready for covering.
