Default RE: repair help...

Ya, suprisingly enought it was a 30 min. epoxy joint. Hehe, I actually didn't notice it till I was leaving. I thing I did it, on a take off, where the wind threw it 90 degrees after lift off (cross wind), instructor took control but had the throttle at idle when flipped the switch. Plump Lol. I thought everything was ok, so fired it up and went back up. STill cranked when it broke ground, but no problems. Leveled it, and just kept climbing. Uneventful flight. Did a little slow speed work, keeping it stationary in a kinda harrier position into wind, then brought it down for a pretty smooth landing, if a little bit far down the runway. Then when I was cleaning it to put it car, I notice the horizontal stab is wiggling. Ooops. Lol. I'll see if I can get some epoxy under there.
Thanks
