RE: HOW CAN I FIX THIS!!!

Since they're local to me, I get mine from Allerc.com. Their stuff, both CA and accelerator are (proven) foam safe. Get the wrong stuff and it will eat the foam.

RE: HOW CAN I FIX THIS!!!

Foam safe CA and some accelerator. From the pictures that shouldn't be too hard to fix at all. Get a medium CA (as opposed to thin).

Smooth everything out the best you can. "Open" the breaks...

Question for Greg Covey

Greg,
You'd done very nice reviews of both the ParkZone J-3 and Decathalon.

Would you mind doing a comparison between the two since that question comes up on a regular basis.

Thanks

RE: Scale to weigh planes? Which one and where can I buy it?

Cruise yard sales and find a BABY scale. Doesn't have to be electronic, but you do have to be able to zero it. Use a soup can as a check weight.
