I had a four star 40... im a young kid also (16) i bought a fourstar 40 arf. was excited my first low winger, basically mastered it my first 10 flites. started to get fancy, stablizer and tail flew off during flight when i was doing flat spins a high speed turns and barllel rolls. came down like a rock into the cow pasture fence, fuse is in alright conndition wing is totaled. found out that the epoxy was still wet on the fuse were the stablizer connects to fuse, i did not mix it right, it wasnt even dry. make sure your stablizer is connected to the fuse strong, put on triangle supports on the connections, you wouldnt think how immport it would be to mix the glue right.... don't rush it man, it looks to me you are, i can tell how you just glued on the canopy, with a huge amount of glue that "scared" it. I wanted to get my arf in the air as fast as you want to put you kit together and now i lost 150$ over it... here are picks of what happened. I bought this spitfire before i crashed to four star 40, I don't know what i should do, the crashed scared me off from flying it, should i just go ahead and fly it? or buy a new four star and get my confindence up agin. this spit is so nice i dont want to crash it, should i sell it off? tell me what you think
One other thing, you could by a wing kit and a set of tail feathers from SIG. Wing kits are 40 bucks but I'm not sure about the tail setup. Now your tailfeathers look to be in good shape so if you can sand of whats left of the epoxy you might just be able to fix it.
Send me a PM if you want to do the wing kit thing. I may be able to help you out
