Repairing
Thwing!'s Leading Edge
This is the second part of an article describing the repair of
Thwing! due to damage caused when the motor came loose from its mount in
flight.
As I mentioned in the previous part, the leading edge must be correctly
repaired for strength and accuracy. It is one of the pieces that
determines the alignment of the wing.
The wing remained straight after being damaged, so it's not difficult to
keep it that way. However, if the pieces are clamped together in a way
that will twist the wing, then an unwanted warp will be introduced.
