Default RE: Four star build

Sorry Guys, I was away for a few days.

Ok Chad, your wing can be saved, but you just might be better off getting a new wing kit.

One reason for this is that the spar you broke is very important and you broke it near the wing root which is the most critical area. You could fix it, but it will require removing the center sheeting. So before I go into great detail as to how to fix it, let me know if you want to bother, or if you just plan on getting a new wing kit.

Secondly, you MUST be more careful with your building. I see a few areas that look kind of sloppy (Like the forward/center sheeting where it meets the main Spar)

At this point, I recommend sticking with the original single servo method, but if you MUST make that two servo mod, Get some 1/8" ply from the Hobby Shop, and make it go inside of ONE servo bay.

A lot of the problem you're having is due to the fact that you're trying to build beyond your building skills. Don't assume that any old method will work.

Case in point - you cut a chunk out of the edge of a few ribs for the servo wire to go through. BAD MOVE! What you SHOULD have done was to cut a hole in the ribs and leave the edges alone.

So Let us know what you plan to do, and we'll work with you accordingly.
