AERIAL/REAR END DAMAGE?

[garvey76]

Hi all
hope alls well where ever you are in the world.
weather in UK is getting better and i have had 3 flights now, posted 2 of em in video section.
third flight not so good. got up and down mixed up ended up in some goal posts.
got a big crack down body in front of tail, would glue and tape hold it?
second thing, on the DVD provided the cubs that are flying seem to have there aerials underneath
would this make much difference than on top and throu the top of the tail?

hey garvey,
yea glue and tape are your best friends when you break your Cub.stick some toothpicks or something similar into foam, and then glue and tape it. Speaking of gaols, i actually managed to fly through some soccer goals going full pelt. More a_rse than class mate

garvey76,

I've busted my tail off at the same spot around 3 times now. I've used 15 minute epoxy to rectify, this last crash made me think and I've tried this as a last resort short of replacing my fuselage.....

I haven't flown it yet but it's dried as hard as glass and should add some strength to that area.

What is that mesh material you have on the tail?

It's just some fine wire mesh, bought from my LHS, it's light weight and adds some stregnth, I've also added it around my fuse where the wings sit.
