I concede that I am a very lucky person;  first just to be here, and second;  to have a plane to repair.

Maybe you can help on the following problem:  There are two areas on the plane where they put a floor jack and tried to lift the plane.  The result was that they broke thru the carbon fiber, honeycomb and all.  It wasnt a clean break though.  The result is that I have two holes in the plane , each roughly in the shape of a semicirccle, with the broken piece still there..  I need to know if it would be better to cut out the damaged area and scarf in a completely new piece of carbonfiber/honeycomb material.  Or should I just clean up the damaged area and press it back in place, using  flox/micro, then cover the area with several layers of carbon on each side.

I am also sending a copy of this post to the lancair/list; hoping someone there has encountered a similar problem.  Appreciate your help.

Regards, Bill Hogarty
