Rather lucky yesterday when I have discovered pretty nasty break/crack in the bottom of the motor nacelle on each side of the servos. It was holding barely on 1/2 of the foam after I picked up model from water after aerobatic routine flight. One more loop and it would snap off!!!
Easy fix back on the work bench, TX to Epoxy and some fiber tape, so she was back in action this morn in magic conditions.

The weak link, bottom of the nacelle joining the fin!

Skipper break time.

Glorious morning.

No sign of wear after almost Decade of most prolific flying with this one. It is showing some age but not in action.

Batteries warm up in microwave pack.

Brekky at the flying field.
