2.3.2 Winglet Repair

This entry is part 7 of 8 in the series 02 - Wing / Winglets

You may recall that when the airplane was brought back from PA, the
right winglet sustained some shipping damage.

To fix it, I had to grind the surface filler down to the fiberglass
and trim back the fiberglass. Then I had to cut out the foam.

Next, create a “plug” and bond it in place with epoxy/micro.

Then cover the entire area with two layers of UNI and the first coat of filler.
