Repairing of Landing Skids on Esky Lama V4
One of the skids of my ESky Lama V4 broke during a hard landing. I repaired the skid with a drop of Superglue on one end and shrinking the appropriate size heat shrinking tube over it. It worked and the skid is holding up. Even after a few other hard landings. Just be carefull not to melt the skid when applying heat to shrink the tubing.

Never broke the skids on my Lama V3 but have broken the tail boom many times and CA glue works great. 
Never break in the same place twice so the CA glue most be holding well.

Hi Kianhon, thanx for the advice. However here in Ondjiva, Angola where we stay there is barely proper Supermarkets to buy food and definitely no Hobby Shops. I have to get all I need from South AFrica. There is also no posyal service. I have to wait for colleuges to visit.
