Best way to reinforce rib tail.

6 posts in this topic

Posted

Brought the plane home a couple days ago and cleaned out a shop for it today. Figured starting with reinforcing the rib tails would be a good starting point. The wings are covered and fabric appears to be in good shape but has not been punch tested yet. What is everybodys favorite way of doing this? Also have AL wing tanks, sounds like they are problematic so removing the fabric might be the best way.

Search onsite for 'Denny Aircraft Service Bulletin #9'. I posted the text and pics in a thread somewhere.

I have looked at the ad and many other posts, seams like everybody is doing it a little differently. Hoping we could make almost a vote for the best way to do it with fabric on and off.

Kind of hard to argue with the way Kitfox suggested if you are going to add anything.  Especially if you are recovering the wings.  JImChuk

"Best" is subjective. The Denny SB was developed in conjunction with the European aircraft regulators specifically to fix an unsafe situation. Why isn't that good enough?
