Default RE: Help request on ARF repair

Thanks for all the input.

I found out through a lot of surfing the plane is a Carl Golgerg Freedom .20

Located some assembly plans. Found that cutting the tail off would not work as the stab has three slotted parts inserting into the fuse. Destroying them would be a problem.

Went with the resheet and the hot knife worked great to get rid of the expoxied block.

Kept the monokote on one side to hold it together along with 1/8 spruce baker board while working.

The tail is super strong now.

Fixing it in place was the fix for certain.

Someone took the time to build it soit's nice to have it back in perfect flying state. Just putting on the monokote now thought you might enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for your help and insight. Thanks for all the posts.
