Default RE: Worth Fixing?


ORIGINAL: badazzbusa

I agree with Dude, throw that thing away. Tower has a .40 ARF trainer for $60, you already have everything else. You would spend more than 60 bucks fixing it. epoxy, wood, covering, horns, rods, heat gun, iron, etc.........
I agree as well. It's a trainer. Not a scale Corsair or a Cessna 410C that can't be replaced. Pour some lighter fluid on it and give it a proper cremation ceremony. Tower has 40 size trainers for next to nothing. You'll spend more in balsa, glue, hinges and covering to fix that stab and firewall. Just junk it. The rest of the glue joints are probably rotten anyway.

Trainers are expendable. Think of them the same way a pylon guy or a combat guy thinks of his planes. Expendable. Some last longer than others. Go buy a NIB ARF and slap it together over the long weekend coming up. You'll be flying Friday or Saturday if you get after it and don't goof around. When you crash it--go get another one right away and do it again. Repeat if necessary. [sm=lol.gif]
