Default RE: My Hangar 9 Super Stick broke

You gotta love the relatively easy to fix nature of Stiks!

Last season I lawn darted my .60 Stik during a fun fly try to purposely crash into other planes on the field ( yes that was part of the contest ).

The fuse broke into four pieces. The wing mount sheared off at the wing root. The gear area ripped out, the firewall was smashed, the fuselage behind the wing broke and the tail came off completely looking much like yours.

I collected all of the pieces after the crash and stuck them in a box.

I was going to toss the plane, but instead I pulled the covering off and started glueing and re-inforcing.

A couple of hours of work later, the plane looks BETTER than new and is now much stronger than before with only a small weight penalty.

I already have 30 flights on it this season...
