Default RE: Fixing Avistar Horizontal Stab


ORIGINAL: ScienceisCool

I don't think I have the right tools to make a scarf joint so I'm going to try bending it back into place and using thin CA to hold it. I just have to run by the hobby shop and get some straight peices for bracing and some clamps. Then have to convince the wife to let me buy some monokote and an iron. Is there any other way to recover it without resorting to that?
Trust me, you will regret NOT doing it right the first time, I just had to redo the covering on an aileron repair I just slapped together and BOY was it a mess to fix it right after glue and taping it..
Follow the advice given, sweet talk the wife type, and get the iron.
