| Repairing damaged gliders Even if your plane becomes damaged, you should be able to fly it again and again with some simple repairs. If the wings or stabilizers are bent or torn, reinforce the damaged parts from the outside by gluing on small pieces of paper. These small pieces of paper should preferably be pieces of scrap paper left over from building your plane. These pieces of paper are bend-resistant in the direction of the wing tips, so be sure to cut them out and apply them so that their grain runs parallel to that of the damaged wing. (The bend-resistant direction of the paper is indicated by the arrow appearing on each model sheet.) A high viscosity cyanoacrylate is best for repairing a broken balsa body. When applying it, be careful not to let it get in your eyes or on your fingers. |
