All of the breaks are clean yet have lots of surface area. Except for
the leading edge of the wing, which must have been fracturing long enough
to allow some oil in, I can just hold the parts together and flow in thin
CA and go flying.
Had I been out at a field instead of in my back yard I would have done
just that. I may put a carbon stub spar in the wing just to hold all of
the many-times-broken parts together (we had a few crashes on the really
underpowered old unreliable engine, too), but maybe not.
This thing cries out for a really hot 049, or a mild 075, or something.
It's good for going in circles. But my kid is ready to do loops, and it
ain't.
