Reaper Canard Problems?
I've been having a problem with my left canard breaking. Has anyone experience any problems with the canards on the Super Reaper?
I spent most of the day rebuilding my canards. I went with 1/4" balsa sandwiched between 1/16" aircraft grade ply. They seem to be much stronger now. Here is a picture of the break and the re-designed canard. Oh, I would recommend setting up elevons on all Reapers as this breaking of the left canard could have cost me the jet. Luckily the elevons mixed in enable me to still have good control.
