RE: Airplane repair and flying tips.
Hello all,
After attempting to fly my piper cup several months back, I made the classic newbie error of giving it too much elevator with not enough speed. The result was the plane climbing 5 feet, stalling, and coming down hard on the spinner. The damage can be seen in the below pics.
after learning to fly properly using a sim and a pz spitfire, I want to give this otherwise perfect plane another go, which means installing new bracings that hold the engine to the front bulk head. Because I did not make this plane, im not so sure how to go about this and would really appreciate some expert advice as how to tackle the repair. Would the best course of action to be remove the formed balsa of the nose section and take out the bulk head, or would it be possible to some how unstuck and pull out the old broken supports and slide in new ones and glue them in? is there anything in particular I need to look out for apart from having them put in straight?
Thanks for any help!!
Mike.
