Hi All,

an inspection ring cover decided to depart the wing during an acro session today :mad: enlarged the front hole and cracked the rear one...

High res picture here

What are my options on fixing it? Hoping for some "easy" fix where I can attach (glue?) something to the inside without doing fabric work? I will rotate the inspection cover ~15-20' and drill new holes, but looking to do some reinforcement on the inside ? There's a round vinyl patch [from before] around the hole on the outside to prevent further paint cracking/breaking off from the prop wash...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

-Igor
