Broken foamy - need advice
 

After reviewing a lot stuff on the net about how to start, I decided on a Flyzone Albatros micro. Thinking that I could work on the basics in the school yard down the street before progressing on to larger faster real planes. So far kinda frustrating.
At this point it appears that the servo pack is detached from the fuselage. Big fun. Theminimalisticmanual briefly mentions that one can disassemble the the plane by using lighter fluid to soften the joints between the two halves of the fuselage. I really have no problem taking this apart but if anyone has had experience with the same problem I would welcome the advice. I plan to glue the servo in place with hot glue and glue the fuselage together with foam CA. Also any tips on how to position the servo pack would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the hobby! Once you get past the novice phase, it's a lot more fun.

If your plane uses the little unit with the receiver and servos all together, the foam safe CA will be fine on it too. Your story is very common now that companies are marketing the micro planes. They are not built to handle any wind, and even without it they are a challenge for beginners. On top of that, this one is a biplane which requires more experience than many others to manage speed on landings. If you have a big indoor venue where you can fly, then you may have some fun with this plane. But if not, you'll keep breaking it until it's unfixable or either lose it when you get up into some wind that you didn't realize was there.
For something that works better, the Hobby Zone Super Cub is a well-proven beginner's plane. It doesn't like wind either, but it can at least handle the little gusts and turbulence that you'll find on calm days.
