i fixed it with tape, thanks for the help. i worked on the sim alot this week, and put her in the air this morning... huge differece after getting stick time (about 15 hours) on FMS. i flew her for about 8 minutes, but i ran out of juice, and glided in( from about 150' up) it was an awesome experience. the weather was perfect, the plane performed great, and at the end of it all i had NO REPAIRS to do! can't wait untill i go back home sunday to fly her again. right now i'm at a lake playing with my 48" gas boat )
