Took my Tensor out this weekend, launched the plane off of a little skateboard ramp, excellent way of getting it into the air. Flew and landed well.

Got a bit cocky, instead of putting the plane back onto the ramp, I tried taking off from the grass. The wheels stopped, plane tipped nose first and the back dropped off, as you can see in the photo.

Anybody got any suggestions on how to fix this, or should I just cut up a new piece of foam and rebuild it.

OUCH!! You can rebuild it though. I've seen worse rebuilt and flown... Little trim here or there should even fly ok.

Just get some medium foam safe CA and glue it back together. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.

I piled my Tensor in at full speed & it broke into about 20 pieces. I had it back in the air in less than an hour with foam safe CA & Accellorator. That stuff is stronger than the original foam.

Had that happen to mine different times. Back in the air in 20 mins with hot glue. Hockey tape along the edges of the more fragile spots helps.

Yes, that's where foamies break. Fortunately, the "X" cross-section lends itself to laying a piece of CF tube into the intersection of the "X". Do this after the fuse is repaired with foam-safe CA and is as straight as you can get it. The length of the CF can be as short as 4 inches (10 cm) or as long as the fuse, depending on how paranoid you are about adding weight. Diameter can be as small as 0.050" (1.5 mm) solid rod or, on something very light like the Tensor, probably no bigger than 1/8" (3mm) hollow tube. You can get good adhesion and a bit of a fillet around the CF by using either medium-viscosity CA or a tacky water-based glue like "RC56".

A foamie isn't fully test-flown until it's been broken in half a few times. [8D]
