Escapade wing fix
 

So after reading all the post's on the wing problem with the G.P Escapde what would be the best fix? Lots of glue?

What wing problem are you referring to? My wife has a stock built Escapade and has been flying it for months without any problems.

I was reading a lot of post's about the tab's on the leading part of the wing getting broken off. Some members have reinforced it with tiger hair and epoxy.

I remember there was some discussion about that now. Certainly if that worries you it is easy to reinforce. Like I said my wife has been flying hers for some time without problems. Just don't decided to do a whole bunch of modifications that add weight to the plane. Built as designed it is a great plane. Get it heavy and well it isn't.

Just epoxy the wind halves together and you should be good to go.

FWIW, I have a 6 lb. 3 oz. Escapade with a Saito 72 and a 5 cell 6V 25000 Mah battery andf it flies great. Don't sweat the small stuff, just make sure it's balanced and powered properly for the weight.

Thanks all. Also I have been using Real Flight Basic in preperation for flying the Escapade. Most of my actual flying has been with a ParkZone J-3 Cub and I've just started using the ParkZone T-28 for more aileron real life training. Hope this plane works out for me and my new found skills or lack of. LOL

You will really like the Escapade. a .46 engine is plenty of power.
