Well I rebuilt it!

Post by Vipertech13 »

I almost scrapped this bird but just could not bring my self to do it! I hope it will at least just fly. Nothing fancy just fly.
Really did not cost any thing to fix, I had all I needed on hand. Yea, my epoxy bottles took a hit but that is really all.
I was able to reverse the motor shaft and now the bend is in the back of the motor and the prop runs smooth.
All of the servos survived the crash, I was surprised I thought for sure they would be all stripped out, since the linkage arms were ripped out of the ailerons on impact but they all work well.
I have about 15 hours getting it back to this shape as I think about it I wont repair one that damaged again. It is a little rough looking but I'm OK with it!
I can design and build a new one in that time!
