| Subject: | Soft spot on inside wing |
Hi Guys,
My plane has developed a soft spot on the wing where I step up to enter the c
ockpit on the pilots side. The copilot's side is fine as is the rest of the w
ings. I have a stepping strip placed over the paint where I step up and that
is where I can actually push in with my hand and the composite gives in. I'
ve included a pic. Not that good of one, put you can see where the black str
ip is. The soft spot is right in the middle of the black strip. Any suggesti
ons would be greatly appreciated!!

Steve,
Can you determine if the soft spot is over the fuel bay or not?=C2- If it
is over the fuel bay area then I would recommend drilling a small 1/8 inch
hole thru the outer skin (carefully) in the center of the soft spot and ch
ecking for fuel contamination.=C2- If you find that the foam core has bee
n contaminated with fuel the soft spot will spread as the fuel eats more of
the foam.=C2- The solution would be to open up a small part of the outer
skin of the wing just big enough to ensure access to the affected area,=C2
- repair the leak in the fuel cell and then fill the area with foam and g
lass over.
If it is not a fuel contamination problem the drilled=C2-opening=C2-sho
uld allow you to inject an epoxy mix into the cavity.=C2- The hole will b
e simple to repair with a bit of epoxy and flox.
Just my .02 cents worth.
Bob Reed
PS:=C2- I am making an assumption that the TR-1 Wings used the foam core
like the TR-4.

Hello Stephen, I would not attempt to analyze the problem without actually
seeing it personally, but it could be a very serious problem requiring some
expert composite aircraft repair training to help solve.
Apparently you meant wing ribs rather than spars in your description of the
location of the soft spot with regard to how far it is from the fuselage.
Just as important is where is it located fore and aft. Is it over the
portion of the wing that contains fuel? If it is over the fuel tank you
could find yourself stepping into fuel someday.
I recommend that you ask for help from the KIS Matronics group by forwarding
this email to the group.

Hi Owen,
Trust all is well? I had a question. Where I step on the Wong to enter the
plane a soft spot has developed. I have a strip to protect the paint and
thought about removing it and drilling a small hole and try and eject some
epoxy in the area. Any thoughts? The area seems to be between the two
spars. The one close to the door and the next spar. It's about a 6 by 6 area
or a little larger.

Can we determine "how soft is soft ",
is it possible to measure how much weight needs to be applied to start the
surface deflection , a matter of a couple of pounds or many more.
Also can you measure the distances from the leading edge backwards and
distance outboard from the fuselage, this will determine if its over fuel or
not and if there is a wing rib anywhere close to it .
Do you step on the wing from the front or the back ?

Not near fuel cell. I step on the wing from the back of the wing over the flaps
which I have in down position. You can push down on the spot with little pressure
before it starts to give.

Steve,
I can't recall ever having heard the type of foam or the number of glass la
yers utilized.=C2- I know that is was a rather dense foam and you can pro
bably examine it by looking at some of the inspection panels if they weren'
t filled in on the sides.
By the way, there is a copy of the TR1 Builders manual on my web site.=C2
- There are also a number of construction photos for the TR1.

Congratulations Ed, That is wonderful news and Wind Dancer is a
beautiful airplane. I am too familiar with how life can get in the way
of our projects and it's a testament to your perseverance to see it
through to completion. I look forward to hearing more reports on your
experience with the flight testing.

Subject: KIS-List: KIS Cruiser WindDancer flies
After a long build time interrupted by life in many ways, I was able
to finally take my Cruiser around the pattern a few times last
Wednesday. I had made several long and high land backs on our VPZ 7000'
runway earlier so I knew it would fly but wanted the initial pattern
flight to depart east over fields. Waiting for acceptable weather and
trying to align schedules was like getting the planets to align. Light
rain fell on the hangar roof when I pulled the plane out but the weather
held off long enough to do the deed.
The plane flew very nicely and since I followed the manual's flight
test advice for the first flight landing with no flaps, and was carrying
a little extra speed on this landing for pucker factor, it just wanted
to keep flying until we both decided it was time for a nice touchdown. I
look forward to another get acquainted flight soon before starting the
phase one testing in depth.
I would like to thank all the KIS list members and builders for their
advice and help thru the years and also Kent Pyle and Galin for letting
me get some stick time in their planes.I felt very comfortable on the
first flight.
I have an injected Lycoming experimental IO-360 running dual p-mags,
and factory suggested Sensenich prop.
For good luck on the first flight, I wore my dad's 1929 flying helmet
from his OX5 Swallow days and complemented it with my Light Speed Zulu
headset. Seemed to work. Post flight inspection didn't turn up any
problems. My tail feather N71EJ stand for the year we were married and
Ed and Judi. There is a video of the takeoff on our EAA Chapter 104 Face
book page.

Bob, I spent many an hour checking out the great information on your web
site during the build. Thanks for the effort building the site.
