 Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2007 7:44 am Post subject: Repairing an IVOPROP |
 |
|
I have an in flight adjustable IVOPROP ultralight. One of the blades has developed a small nick about the size of an eraser head. It's deap enough that the weave in the fiberglass is exposed. Is it possible to repair this or should I just replace the blade?

Warp recommends mixing up some epoxy and microballoons to fill in the nicks.
When its completely cured, file/sand smooth and paint (optional). I would
assume IVO would be similar. Then again, you could send it to IVO for them
to evaluate and repair.

Luis,
You'll get lots of opinions and second hand information from the list. My
suggestion is that you contact IVO. Then you will get some solid advice.

Got a response from IVO in case anyone is interested. Here's their short list of reccomended filler starting with the best option:
Polyester gel coat
Polyester fiber glass resin
2 part epoxy
