Hi All,

I'm looking for a some help with the repair of a DG1000, it's in need of some attention. So the main help I need is

 repair of the fuse

It's got some cracks and it needs a paint job, so firstly, so how does one go about filling, repairing and painting a glass fibre fuse?

Repair of the wings
The wings are made of plywood ribs with balsa covering, the balsa is painted and covered with what I think may be oracover but I'm not sure, the plastic cover is coming away from the wings and the paint is lifting. So I want to strip the wings back and re-cover but I'm not sure how to go about this.

Any help welcome

Hi stephen
There is a fibreglass repair kit you can get  . Its similar kit for cars but the weave is a lot smaller . I think you might pick it up in model shops or try e-bay  :!:
And if you strip the off The oracover you can just replace it with the same stuff and just iron it back on   :o   :D

Er,........A picture paints a thousand words or so they say :wink:

Happy Days:
They look very much like the “repairs” on lots of my fibre glass models!  :oops:  :oops:

 I don’t really have a clue how to improve them. :(

Let’s see what some of the experts on this forum have to say. :?:
