![]() ![]() Then I did the unthinkable … I lost my perspective/orientation with the model, executed one of those dumb thumb moves, and corkscrewed it right in. I went out to fly this off the lake this afternoon (frozen this time of year.) I did one good flight, switched batteries and midway through the 2nd flight some winds started to come up a bit. I am thinking about getting out my can of orange spray paint and doing an outboard section of the top of the wing in high visibility orange (and maybe a couple other bits while I’m at it.) Part of the reason for the crash was that I completely lost orientation on the model, and part of the reason for that (I think) was flying an all gray model on an overcast day.That’s probably something I can just glue back together and it will be ok. The right front bottom of the nose took some damage I just now noticed.I think this will go back together again ok with enough surface area to be structurally sound. The left engine nacelle got completely ripped off.I need to either buy replacement plastic parts or carve a replacement from something. The canopy got shattered into dozens of bits.There are a few people on youtube that have done this and it turns out pretty cool. I’m strongly considering a mod to convert this model to retractable wing tip floats. ![]() I’m hoping I can glue the parts back together to get the shape, and then do some reinforcement to get the necessary structural strength.
