wildemt Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello, My old buddy ground handling wing has sprung a leak! It's a Revo 1 and has a biggish hole that I would like to repair. It's on the blue trailing edge. I can't find a repair kit for it. Any ideas? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Never tried this but as I have one and if it was my ground wing I would give it a go (that does not mean its the right thing to do for sure ). http://www.kitefix.com/catalog/product_ ... 7e758a2a00 I use this on the kites to repair any cloth rips and it works really nice. I can see why it would not work for a ground glider. It will look like shit but....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesplat Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi if you give the loft or aerofix a shout they should be able to supply you with "sticky wing" material in whatever colour you need. Cut it to have a 1/4inch overlap all round. round off the corners of the patch then stick it on the back of the hole put another over the front. Obviously dont have any creases and put the edges of the tear as close together as you can with out mis-shaping the wing. Thats it all good.. cheers Col..

wildemt Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks mates! As good as fixed. Down, dirty,cheap and right now or a few quid, wait for mail & neat and tidy. Best of both worlds! Cheers Ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I just looked through my massive bag of sticky wing sections. I have every colour except Blue Soz dude. For future ref: If you use the thin white colour, it's basically see through when applied to the wing. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
