oops....
 

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?

RE: oops....
 

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.

RE: oops....
 

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.

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

RE: oops....
 

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
