Hi people The other day while moving a customers revmaster motor I managed to bump my KR fuselage boat off its stands. It fell on top of the retract gear that I had been storing on the floor under the plane which punched a hole through the bottom of the fuselge just ahead of the rear spar. There is no damage to the longerons or any of the cross members.
I have cut out the entire bay's ply and am preparing to splice in a replacement piece. My question is : Making the splice width wider than the 5/8 longerons and crosspieces is going to be difficuilt to hold down for curing beyond the edge of them. I know the 5/8 is a little shy of the accepted scarf width for the 2.5mm ply but will it make that much difference? Dene Collett South Africa
