Repairing broken landing gear on a .40 size biplane

[Frank v B]

A member had a biplane built by another member. The landing gear broke.  Photo 95
This plane was a kit and it appears to have a weakness built into it.

To remedy it I did the following:
- cut away all old glue and loose balsa. Photo 96.
- cut away all covering near the repair area. Photo 97.
- glue the old plywood mount back in place with epoxy. Photo 98.
- add fibreglass cloth over the balsa area.
- add a plywood brace to cover the entire flat area.
- add fibreglass cloth on top of the plywood.
- screw the LG back in place.
