repairing GP giant super sportster main gear
I repaired the main gear,,but I guess it wasnt strong enough,,she folded. Any ideas on repairing and strengthening the mains,,If not how do I remove the tail feathers (glued with 30 min epoxy) to install in a new fuse? This just happened in my back yard,,,,,,better there than at the field eh? HELP!!!!
Thank a million -TAZZZZ[&o]

Photos!! It is usually just a mater of installing a new LG block. To remove items that are epoxied in you just use your heat gun and melt or soften the epoxy to remove the parts. I have run into some ARFs that where I would have used epoxy they had used some unknown glue that wouldn't soften. When installing a new LG b lock you will also need some angle stock to reinforce the block with.
As I recall the main gear in that plane was in the wing? Not the fuse? Been a while but I recall it was pretty flimsy.
