Recently, as some of you may know, I purchased a Soaring Eagle Glider. The wing was destroyed in transit and Mr. Sai immediately offered to replace it f.o.c. with a Phoenix wing. Not only that, he advised me to try and repair the original wing so that I would have 2 different wings at my disposal for the same fuselage. This would result in 2 different aircraft with different flying characteristics.
Not only was the wing snapped in half, it was badly lacerated and scratched in transit (photos 1 & 2).
Deciding to experiment rather than throw away the wing, I boiled (boiled, really boiled) a kettle of water and dipped a handkerchief in it and applied it to the dings and scratches. Repeated the procedure 2 or 3 times with limited success. (photos 3 & 4).
Then I got impatient and boiled a third kettle of water and poured the scalding hot water directly over the affected areas. After 2 or 3 repeats, the wing is as good as new - see for yourself ( photos 5 - 8 ).
Now to join the broken halves and reinforce the entire wing structure and try to make it airworthy.
I hope Mr. Sai does not read this and withdraw his kind offer. ;D
ya we usually did many times with foam worked well, even we can remove bends by dipping it into warm water.
thank you .....i will try it on my soaring eagle too tomorrow :hatsoff: {:)}
After repairs...........
Final result.
