Replacing wing root rib ply is a fairly straightforward job on the

And this time, I agree with Eric. Ply delam on the root rib is one thing. Should be relatively easy fix.

I only have two flights in mine (so many other planes to play with!), but it is a lovely flying plane! Was so nice to fly a silent plane. No electrics. Not even a hand held radio on board. Too bad the pee tube was blocked.. Made things a bit sporting there for a while, flying with a full funnel! I was very glad the baggie didn't have a leak in it!
