Default RE: FMS J3 Cub Rebuild...

You might want to see if you can buy replacement parts. at least the wing. If not you should seriously consider a carbon fiber wing spar . It will keep the wing together. Glue alone probably wont hold that. The rest can just be glued or epoxied back together. Start with the big obvious parts. Just make sure to test what ever adhesives you use on a part thats not visible. Some ca"s will eat through. Get the foam safe kind. Hot glue works too as long as it is not part of the structure, like gluing the wing back on. You can also put toothpicks between two parts before gluing them together. This makes it way stronger. Hope this helps. If you have more questions id be happy to help. BTW, id fly that thing for at LEAST 4 more crashes, till the motor isnt strong enough to lift the glue ball hangin from it. steve.
