Hi Folks, While out making the first flights on a new design last weekend I spun in from low altitude after a hand toss. This ship is a full house composite 2 meter with a bagged foam core wing. The skin is 3/4 oz. cloth and uni carbon for the first 2/3 of chord with Kevlar for the last 1/3 in the Phil Barnes style. Anyway, I had Way to much up trim suddenly. I hit a wing tip and now have a compression failure of the upper skin. The wing is still basically strong in that it not very flexible where the failure is. I am looking for the best way to stabilize the area so I can complete my flight tests. The upper skin in the area of the failure is concave. Should I just inject epoxy under the failure area and put a strip of glass on top or is there a better way. With the talk of molded vs foam lately we have a chance to prove foams merit.
