I was at my local park, nice day, suns shining and theres no wind. so i went out and flew my plane. i was flying it around nicely landed it couple of times then it happened, i was flying and the wind blew it, as it's only a light plane so the win blew the wing over, it flew straight at me and all i could do was nothing. the wind stop so i tried to yank it left. Thank god it worked, injurys avoided.

Foolish me didn't look where the plane was goin. I heard this crack and i looked round and i saw my plane fliping over, a tear straight down the middle of the wing. it came to a stop, the wing was in half. I picked it up, turned the electrics of and ran home, a 2 minute run. i came home and my dad had been using the glue gun last night, i heated it up and stuck the wing back toghether. So not a total write off. Probably the most boring crash ever, but my first.

Sorry bout no pics.

Well we all got to start somewhere man. You faired better than my first crash , and my last one for that matter...

i was just wondering, the wings are made outta foam and the crack is obvious and it looks kinda dodgy with the glue holding it toghether and i was just wondering if there is any way of hiding the damage or re covering the wing.

Any help much appreciated
Thanx

did you just glue it, or did you use tooth picks/skewers
to help strengthen it up?

just straight glue. nothing to strengthen it. i was in kinda a hurry 2 fix it though. guess i shud of put stuff in it to strengthen it. but does any know how i can hide the glue marks and everything because it looks a bit tacky
