Scale / ASW 27

Thanks Fred,
But I need to clarify........ie where to inject the glue.

So are you saying that the spar was not glued down well to the wing tube???
Or the wing tube not well glued to the foam??
Or the spar is not glued well to the wing sheeting???

Did you drill holes into the foam around the wingtube or use a 21 0r 18 gauge needle on the syringe and simply inject in?

What about drilling down through the root along the sides of the wing tube and use a polyuerathane glue after injecting some water in.......makes it foam up and penetrate the foam and any into cracks.
 We use to do something similar with the gas large scale aerobatic planes after the wing tubes in the tail planes wore out due to the vibrations from the petrol motors.

PS no problems getting the syringes and needles....... as I am a Doogie Howser!

Scale / S2G ASW 27

Hi Everyone,
I have a ARF kit ASW27 by S2G 4.2m wing span glider which was stored in my garage for years.
I am planning to put it together.

I have read that there is a problem with the wing centre join but reading the emails I am not entirely sure what the problemis. ie is there no spar, or no ribs between the wing tube ends??

The newer models were suppose to have the problem fixed...but how do you know whethere you have one of these new wings?? Is there a way to tell what wing one has?? apart from crash due to wing failure.

From what I heard the company is nolonger in existence. I did contact them when they were still around but they said they would help me solve the problem but never offered any advice nor admit they had a problem with their wings.

I visited the french site but was more confused by what was discussed. It looked like a major modification...I might as well rebuild the wing.

Could anyone help ID whether I have a faulty wing.....and if so the minimal intervention I need to do to fix the problem. I don't really what to recover the wing and rebuild it. I am also pretty unfamiliar with how the S2G glider wings centres are constructed so I need a very clear explanation what to do.( I am very familar  with F3A pattern foam wing construction though..is it similar)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. :roll:
