for some reason i went to take off earlier, the plane took a cartwheel as it lifted off, and i looked down and the radio was off....... im realy at a lost how my radio got turned OFF in the middle of a flight. at least its nice neat and clean on the break though. im going to glue it back in, then run 1/4 inch stock on the bottom and some thicker tri-stock up top


**edit**, btw, all i have is some five min epoxy, should i use it or wait and get some fifteen or thirty?

Sorry about the accident. As for the epoxy, I wouldn't take any chances on the tail feathers like that. I'd use at least 30 min. epoxy.

5 min epoxy is not fuel proof -- don't bother with it.

Medium &/or thick CA will work just fine, as will 30 min epoxy, as will Probond/Gorilla Glue.

txaggie08: Sorry to see you had an accident[]

Looks like a easy fix though. I would use 30 min expoxy. That gives you enough time to make sure everything is aligned correctly.

ok thanks

whats realy killing me....i dont know why it happend. It literaly snapped over about halfway through a nice level take off into a dead on head wind(not shifting at all). i look down and the radio is off........i dont understand what happend

The clip on the neck strap can bind. It may have popped free and flipped the switch. Now, many manufacturers place the On/Off switch in the lower corner to avoid this. You wouldn't be the first person this has happened to.

no kneck strap(forgot it on the table. I think i found the culprit....there was a piece of rubber band wedged under the switch
