Building new wings

3 posts in this topic

Posted

I´m in the process of building new wings for my kitfox 2 due to some damage to the spars. I have decided to build brand new wings with new spars from kitfox.

Currently i´m looking for material and Kitfox has most of it, the first thing i will do is to fabricate the ribs and i need material for this.

I have looked on my wings and i looks like it is 5 mm 10 ply for the ribs same for flaperon hinge and without and the cap strips seems to be 3 mm 5 ply.

Does this seem about right to use this material and thinkness?

Also how much wing twist is original in the wing?, i plan on buying new wingtanks and kifox wants me to specify the twist

Do you have a build manual to refer to since you're building new wings? Asking for a friend. ;)
