I do believe that you can repair the plane. Get yourself some fishing line of the proper size.
To take the inside unit out of the plane do the following:
Take the foam out from the front of the plane. The foam is held in place by 2 pins. One of each side of the fuselage. Take these out and remove the foam.
Unhook the elevator string at the tail. Take the prop off and remove the motor mount screws. Now remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the plane. These hold the electronic board that contains the servo. I believe the board can now be removed through the front of the plane. Now thread a new line into the body tube. Thread it from the back. Be careful that you do not pull the good string through. If you do just run an additional new string. Put the new string on the control unit. Use a good knot. Then reassemble the unit. It will take a little effort to get the bottom 4 screws back in plane.
Hope you get your plane flying.
I just loved my XL. Think I will check and see if any of my batteries are still good and go fly it again.
Let me know how you get alone.
