Hi Guys,

Yesterday I went to the Airport only to find our Pitts sitting in the hangar with a hole in its upper wing ... I think because of the storms that were going on the last days one of the lamps fell of the hangar roof and hit the wing 😖

So what is the correct approach to repair a hole like this ? At first sight the rib isnt damaged but I will have a closer look today ...
