Solid Snake Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Today I maidened my St Models Blaze in about 10 mph winds, the first flight went well but the second was less successful. On the landing approach it stalled and went nose first into the ground. No major damage, however the nose is now slightly bent and I need to somehow straighten it out again. I've used hot water to reshape foam before but I am worried about getting water into the motor so I was wondering if any kind of heat would have the same effect? Such as heating the foam with a hairdryer etc. Here are some photos of what I mean and Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Snake Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thank you for the quick reply Looked at it this morning and it hadn't sprung back into shape so i'll have to use the hot water method. Wasn't sure if I could remove the motor at first but after at little persuasion it was able to slide out. Will try out the hot water method once I get back from holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
