If only...I swear you could sit on that plane and ride it!
I know what SOMEBODY will be dreaming about tonight!If only...
It looks pretty easy to fix, nothing else was damaged but a prop. If only I can drag myself away from my goblins long enough to fix it👌😀Looks like a pretty clean break there - hopefully she'll be back in the air soon!
Nice fix, quality workGot the wing stitched back together. Used some styrofoam packing from something else as filler for where chunks were ripped out when it spiraled into the trees after the wing broke. Just cut the ripped part square and insert a block of foam, glue in, use the heat from the glue gun and some spare wedges of foam to fill in the weak spots where it melts back, let it cool, shave it down with a razor knife and give it a smoothing with packing tape. The break in the wing is being healed with Hobby Town thick foam filler glue and reinforced with tape, as well as having two slices cut into the foam across the break and wooden dowels pressed in with foam filler glue on the inside and the top smoothed off with hot glue and tape. It seems pretty sturdy already, should be solid in 24hrs once the foam cement has had time to fully cure.
It isn't pretty, but it works! It could look pretty with a bit more care regarding the heat, and some fresh decals, but the scars give it character.
Tail was already fixed over the weekend, so if the motor comes in on time and everything works, she'll be in the air on Saturday morning.
Thanks!Nice fix, quality work
It may not be pretty, but it's not ugly either! Great job on the repair. She looks like she'll fly just fine!Got the wing stitched back together.

I am liking you more and more every day!so I did what any sensible person would do and put it on anyway.
Ouch! Looks fixable thoughCrashed the Freewing 64mm A-10 at the end of her maiden flight today. Came in too high on the landing, and either didn't apply power soon enough for a go-around, or didn't have enough battery left to spin back up. I couldn't get her to climb back out after passing over the end of the runway, and she finally just floundered in.
She flew pretty nice once I started getting used to her, though.
