Repairs to this wing are pretty straightforward, and common to what you'd find on a well-loved swap meet plane - a few broken ribs, bad hinges, ripped covering, etc. First up for the repairs is fixing the hinges. The original hinges had a pinned center meaning they couldn't be taken apart for service. The ones I'll replace them with have a removable pin so the aileron could be removed easily in the future.
The old hinges need to be cut out, which leaves some holes to fix.
I then draw an outline to match the "plug" I cut. Once the plug is glued in place I'll have to come back and cut new hinge slots.
Here the plug is glued in. When the glue cures I'll come back to plane and sand this flush. Now to repeat it 9 more times!
This rib in the aileron was the worst of the damage on this wing. It's kind of "missing" about 1/3 of the wood, so I'll have to cut a new rib using this old one as a template.
Aaaaand done. A little sanding to make it flush with the rest and that fix is done.
And that takes us up to now. Repairs are all done, and were pretty quick and easy on this wing. I still need to cut hinge slots for new hinges, fill and sand as needed, and do a little tweaking to the wingtip to match what I did on the other wing and it'll be ready to cover.
