Hi I bought an RW 16 that was mainly completed. It needed a lot of tweaking, this airplane has never been flown. So far I have:
Fixed all of the fuel lines they were leaking
Fabricated rudder stops
fixed pull starting system
installed seat belt
replaced bolts that were an incorrect length

heres what I need:
Three of the ribs are cracked on the one wing and I'm not sure how to fix it yet
Also need to fabric patching I'm not sure how to do that yet
I want to install and EGT gauge and airspeed gauge in the RPM gauge I feel like I could do that however I don't know how to airspeed gauge work I do have a panel on the aircraft but there's no Peto tube
After that is done it'll be ready to fly
