Believe it or not Amazon has every piece for the Super Cub you need and are very reasonably priced.

Unless you plan to do all his repairs I'd point him at this site and get him reading. Outside of destroyed electronics and power plant items most foam can be glued back together. Some reinforcement with bamboo (BBQ) skewers, carbon rods, and tape can do a world of good.
Wholesale foam replacement at the learning stage is generally a waste of resources and time. It's just going to get busted again. Learn to repair. It's a part of the sport, even though no one ever seems to plan for it.
As you may have gathered by now the learning process is not a pretty one if you go it alone. No one learns this sport without some carnage. It's part of the rite of passage.
IMO you want to 'make do' with any plane you can get to function, no matter how ugly, until you can come home from the flying field about 10x and not need to repair or replace anything.

Type less....fly more. |
