Colt wing rib corrosion repair advice

How should I go about fixing this ?

Splice in another serviceable section using the repair method in Service Memo 10. Shop the net for old ribs or even rib repair kits.

Thanks. Its close to the end. Is it hard to replace the entire rib ?

[Gilbert Pierce]

I would replace that rib and the tip bow. You have to remove the small leading edge piece and the rib and tip bow hardware, slide the new rib on and put it back together. Did that several years ago. Not difficult, done it three times.

I see I have the dreaded iPad upside down thumbnail picture. Is this revenge because IE. People dislike Apple?
I am using a 5 year old iPad so this is something that has changed in SJ’s software not a new model Apple I phone.

Assuming its a LH aileron outbd rib No.11, I think I have a spare at the hangar.

Dakota cub LH LOA rib $135 Univair U1206-00 No. 11 Aileron rib $175.00
LH Tip rib $135 U1202-00 No. 12 tip rib $170.00

You could also do a rib repair in situ using just the univair stamped rib and not have to remove anything else. See the attached service bulletin SL100.

I have also attached an article on how to fabricate the support braces that you will need. Currently not in your picture.
