Well after my switch broke, the day couldn't get any worse. Well, I t got a whole lot worse, as a tradie, I've certainly fixed my fair share of stuff ups but, this is my cub  ? All repaired now, I highly recommend this tape, it's water proof but the colour doesn't suit white cub. |

Sorry, but the photos show up so small that I can't really tell what happened in any of them. They really need to be resized to share.
Sorry for you troubles and hope the repairs work okay for you.

Oh no, I loaded them up at only 131kb each, too small ? |

Really sorry about the crash but it happens. The good news as you've found is that the cubs are usually repairable. Looks a neat repair too. :-)

Was the crash caused by loss of control after the switch failure?
Those switches can be replaced with a little soldering, and the repair looks pretty strong.
A new wing is pretty cheap if it doesn't fly too well like that, though.

Funny you mention that sham. I'm not entirely sure, I know that after the switch snapped off I still went ahead and had a fly, I mean, couldn't turn up with no result. So I took the plunge. I found that at low level I had no control to turn and it just glided forward but the only way out of it was to push down on the elevator which I had todo on a previous day's flight before the broken switch. Wonder why |

Sounds like a rudder problem.. wonder if its a broken servo or maybe if the panic button is stuck. I think the plane needs a proper check over before its next flight.
