Re: J3 wood spar chewed by animal - Repair ideas

Dano,
Looks like where the damage is that it wouldn't be to much of a problem to splice inboard of the rib. I have made a few spars but haven't spliced one yet-you probably have what you need but the structural repair manuel for the C-61 has a very good description and illustrations for the repair and I can send you a copy if you would like one. Darn mice--may have to get a cat.

Check out the spar on my pre-war J3....I am restoring it, but had not planned on replacing the spars as they otherwise look quite good. I plan to splice a new end on....what are your thoughts?
