how do i fix this

bad pilot

New member
i have unfortunately nose dived my plane while learning a few times and my power pod has broken (I added some support before flying, so it was a little easier to insert the skewers). I will attach images below. in the thrid image you can see how bent the pod is. in the 4th the pins are in to hold it in place but you can't see then, in the last image you will see the supports i added and how bad the rips are.

You should be able to straighten the kinks/bends out by hand. What I've started doing is reinforcing my power pods with coffee stir sticks / toothpicks / popsicle sticks.
It adds a fraction of extra weight, but definitely helps a lot.

Regarding the ripped holes: if you don't have enough foam lying around to make another pod, you can always fill those holes and make some new ones?
