RE: Help! - Fiberglass/Epoxy for Electric Gliders/Sailplanes

The breaks are already glued together using CA but I still want to toughen up the weak areas on the fuselage.

RE: Help! - Exponential Controls

Starfire, Thanks much for your thoughtful offer, it's appreciated.

RE: Help! - Exponential Controls

Hi RCKen,

If flight training with an instructor was as simple as just driving for awhile, I would consider it more strongly. Maybe things are different in your part of the country but I've...
