Help! Need Help Repairing Quad Arm

[jack10525]

Hello Guys,

I have a Hitec Quadracer 280 that I crashed (Wow how uncommon) and broke an arm off at the motor. I could not find a replacement available online. Seems this quad is old and not supported any more. Well I tried to glue the arm back on with 2 part epoxy. It worked until I landed a little too hard. So if anyone has suggestions on a more permanent fix I would like to hear it.

Is there enough room to drill a hole in each arm section to pin the break? Maybe drive a screw in the hole then cut off the head. Then drill a hole under the motor mount to accommodate the "Pin" and re epoxy the whole thing?

I don't think you're going to have much luck keeping that in one piece, have you considered upgrading and transplanting to a new frame?

Yes. This is what I was thinking too. Or modify the arm completely. I could drill a hole in the mount and put a carbon fiber tube through it but then I would need to do the other side too. Not there yet.
