Evol,

1. Get some 2 inch wide Fiberglass packing tape.

2. Remove the fiberglass rods and that aluminum connector. Take the connector to Ace or any local hardware and buy Stainless
tubing close to the Inside diameter of the aluminum about $4. Go home cut a length of that Tubing and bend it to the same angle as the
aluminum brace put it back together and use the Fiberglass tape to attach it.
(I had over 30 flights on the aluminum but believe me its not fun to see your Wings fold in flight and this is a quick and easy fix)

3. Make a Tail brace __/|\__ for the Vertical Stabilizer out of Balsa or Bamboo or Graphite

4. Use the Fiberglass tape on the bottom of the Tail horizontal stabilizer.

5. Use the Fiberglass tape on top of the Stock Tape for the hinges.

6. Add a few strips of Fiberglass tape to the underside of the Wing . | | | | | and ======================

I run ThunderPower 2100s get about 30+ mins. Hobbico MKII is about $50 and will charge 2 batteries at a time will do lipo to 3 cells
(it only charges a lipo to a little over 80% but it will not over charge your cells which is a good thing)

This is one of 4 planes , 3 are nitro and this is my Favorite to throw around in the Air Have fun
