I had a mishap with My Corsair Today and was wondering How To Repair the Cracked Foam?  ...Some say to use Epoxy, Others suggest Gorilla Glue, While Others Suggest using a Special Glue or Ca Type glue for Foam. Any Suggestions anyone? ? |

Yes, I was and I got too close to a Tree across the lake....Didn't do a whole lot of damage, but the wing needed some cracks filled and now the wing doesn't fit quite right....Had to glue the rudder back on and it did real well!!!...Those trees were in the Sun and I lost My depth perception!!...Oh Well, That's what I get for trying....I flew it Sat. and Sun. afternoon without a mishap....I'll have PLENTY of SPARE PARTS!!  |

Sammy, according to E-Flite, the "Z-Foam" material used in the Corsair can be repaired with regular CA. They also suggest canopy glue. Check out the link below:

Hey Thanks, I was looking all over for that Info!!!...Just as well though, I will be replacing the whole plane....I don't trust what I can't see... Plane has too many places that could cause poor flight or worse...Tried to get the replacement parts, but as Usual, Horizon is out of what I need...Thanks again, Great Info!!!
