DIGGER Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I had a bad crash with my Apprentice s, the rear fuselage snapped in two. ( Foam ) Done the usual repair kebab sticks both sides and one under the tailplane, stuck with UHU POR. Very strong joint, BUT I have noticed that it has slightly gone out of true to the left, it crabed when we test flew it. NOW THE QUESTION, can I straiten it with gentle heat with an iron ? I can bend it cold to the correct alignment but I don't want to cut it again. Will heat work. Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 A piece of cloth to protect its surface from excess heat and a heat gun, not my experience, but I learned it ( never too old to learn ) Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
