Re-Introduction to Aeromodelling!
Hi,
I flew planes for about a year when I was 16 and loved it but Uni and other things got in way! I've always been reading and following the hobby with great anticipation for my return but due to so many factors it been hard for me to commit and join a local club (mainly due to job and location change). But I'm so nearly there, I'll be settled very, very soon. My girlfriend and I are moving in and I already have a plan for the garge or should I say 'workshop' (tool lists and ideas are all being jotted down!). I'm also buying a new car which will fit the aeroplane transport wagon bracket nicely. Once I move I will be joining a club and getting right back into it. It's been a long time coming, and I really can't wait, just the thought of advancing to all the different types of models and genres of flying is just well...tingly!! I've already asked 'santa' for my second model (Pulse 60XT). When I was younger I went from a trainer to a mid wing aerobatic and did not bad (I'm seriously not trying to blow my own trumpet, but after reading the suggested second models and what I did, I think I did not too bad!) so think that the Pulse would be a more suitable second model!
From this little beauty!

So, I just wanted to give a small introduction as I think I'll be here asking questions alot!
And as a matter of fact I have one now!!
I bought a second hand Seagull Cessna from a friend of a friend back home to use my trainer, recently I've been getting kitted out with the starter gear and been preparing for my return. I was washing down the old bird and tidying it up, I noticed there is something rattling around in the wing but I have no way of checking! The wing looks like it has has some damage repaired on the leading edge near the centre which I suspect is the cause of the rattle, my problem is I don't really know how to tackle it, I know I'm going to have to cut it open somewhere as I need to get whatever is in there as it could problems when flying. What would be the easiest and least destructive way of doing this?
Cheers,
Rob
