RC glider and composite wing repair

We repair wings and other carbon fibre, fibreglass and hybrid composite parts from RC aircraft and model gliders.

Wing structure and adjacent joints

Cracks and fractures in the skin or spar are assessed in the context of the whole wing structure. Its shape, the condition of adjacent joints and access to the damage determine the repair options and method.

Request a Repair Assessment

Good photos help.

Send a photo of the whole part, both sides of the damaged area and details of nearby joints. Include the model, dimensions, material if known, and any previous repairs.

Do I need to send the whole model?

Send photos first. Based on the construction and damage, we will agree which part needs to be sent for inspection.
