I can feel a mid-air coming on..............
Yea Rob elevators were a problem for me yesterday.
F16 too loose, Tucano worse than too loose.
Anyway last night I extracted about a kilo of mud from
the inside of the cowl and found my motor and esc.
Esc middle wire has come apart guess that was on impact.
Cowl is in worse condition than I first thought,
Air intake is cracked and some of the fibreglassed
finish has been broken off on the outside.
Checked the web for a replacement and found one
in Singapore for $10 but another $10 postage.
Think I'll put some fibreglass on this one and see if
I can repair it myself.
Need to make up a couple of balsa formers and a ply firewall
and new elevators so I have taken Kev's plane to use as a template.
Should be ok.
