    It had a good bitof tension the bottom skin is still on and the fabric was left long to bring it up and around the wire it was pretty tight . I,ll get pix in the A.M.

    broken trailing edge wire
    I put some new rib extensions on and just before I was ready to start the fabric I decided the wire needed to move up about an eighth inch . So I drilled a little hole just above the cable and tried to wiggle the bit up and down a tad-tad too much,pop went the cable!! It,s the last rib out just before the tip. Can some type of clamp connector fix this ?

    It is the under side. It,s the right wing every thing is tight,except the outter two ribs. One is totaly detached and the other just half way glued.
    The left wing the one I have open I can get to everything. I noticed four of my inner ribes are laced no other,s on the plane are, and it,s different tape over the stiching. Im wondering if this was a datached fabric repair with stiching. Can that be done ?

    I just ordered a how-to book for polyfiber and a practice kit along with inspection plate stuff, my plane doesn,t have any. Is that normal ? [the inspection plate,s that is] I cut my fabric right up the center of the two outer rib-end,s I replaced. Will this go back together ok with some creative sewing and taping ?

    Well, I got the outer rib epoxied in, to support the flaperor/jig. Did two night,s ago . Getting ready to put the last two in tonight. A friend let me borrow a fabric tester, I got 12# easy everywhere.

    That sound,s like good advice, the damn thing,s laying right there why not use it for a jig. Nex I,ll be asking about fabric stuff. But I,ll order the book first to keep the dumb questions to a min.
