Should I fix it?
1 Attachment(s)
Fixed a buddies plane that had a cracked fuse... I just squirted some ProBond in there, clamped on a 2x4 and flew it the next day... Flew really great.... I was lovin it... Gettin real cocky and stuff..... I was doing some snap rolls and did some kind of inverted snap that didn't work out to good.... Got away from me fast......
So you guys think I outta fix it again? I got some more ProBond.... |

[8D]I've seen a lot worse CA'd back together, From What I can make of your pic, it looks salvageable, If you like the plane, go for it.

Ouch! [:@]
My guess is that by the time that's fixed it gained another hundred or so grams. But if it was light and you're motivated fix it! Doesn't look too bad.......ok no wait it looks bad. |

This is what they call a great practice plane.

RE: Should I fix it?
Keep fixing them till the repair time exceeds the flying time.

I just have this thing about destroying a bird... It kinda bugs me... I know I should just throw it in the trash...

Paul ,as fast as you build, you could built another one probably faster than you can repair it.

Man, a once proud bird that has seen better days! Live hard and die young ;)

RE: Should I fix it?
Let it go... ;)
Rebirths never fly like they did when they were born....and then you'll be kicking yourself harder later on wondering why you wasted your time fixing it. Like they say, Life is too short to drink cheap wine. .and. Life is too short to fly birds with bruised wings. |
RE: Should I fix it?
Looks pretty bad Paul. If it was just the fuse behind the wing, I'd say fix it. but with the nose too, I probably wouldn't do it.

What happened to Paul Swanny, the master of rebuilds? Look at it as a challange!

RE: Should I fix it?
That looks like Gramblings Sledge? Did he already go thru it? I would build another. They usually never fly as good and are heavier.

LOL so trashed as to be un-recognizeable. That used to be my Top Cap I got off Carrid02. Gator dorked it at Nashville so he ended up with it. He had fixed and dorked it a couple of times since then, I think Pauly put it down for the count.

RE: Should I fix it?
Well.... I already Probonded the fuse back together.... Doesn't look too bad really... Sitting in the corner for now.....

RE: Should I fix it?
Jeff, Its not my sledge. I think it Gators topcap, the one he got from Chuch Auger
