New guy from UK!

Hi everyone! Complete noob here from Bolton, Uk.

Just got my super cub delivered yesterday, took it out for a first flight last night and i'm impressed!

Perfect on the first try but i obviously knocked it out a bit after a few tumbles so it wasn't flying too well after!

Destroyed the cowl completely but i bought a replacement anyway. Also, screwed up the thin plastic things used to securethe landing gear.

One thing that i'm unsure how to tackle is a bit of wing damage. The tip of the right wing has snapped off, looks like a 1 inch bite mark. Any recommendations on how to fix it. I was planning on taping it up, would that work?

Thanks!

Hi And welcome.

I did a similar repair myself, I cut some foam from the packaging to the shape aprox of the bit that was missing so it locked in but was bigger than the wing. I gorilla glued it in place, using black electrical insulating tape to hold it in place while the glue set, it peeled off easily afterwards. I then used a hacksaw, file and finally sandpaper to remove excess glue and reshape it to the original shape. Once I was happy with the shape I then reinforced it with tape.

Hope this helps
