100cc Sbach repair

Hi guys. I want to share some pictures of my Sbach.

Here she is on maiden day.

This picture is also from maiden day:

The rudder servo failed and locked the rudder at full left deflection and it crashed. It sucks but I think this story will have a happy ending.

Pilot RC will send you free parts if you need to repair your plane so I took some pictures of the wreckage and sent them to Tony the president of Pilot RC. About 2 weeks later I got a box of laser cut parts and all I had to pay was shipping! Amazing!

So I started the build/repair.

This plane was actually super easy to put back together, thanks to all the interlocking parts, and before I knew it, I had the fuselage put back together.

And here she is today:

All I have left to do is replace the right wing (I'd rather get a new one then try and repair the smashed one), repair some minor damage to the left elevator, and do a little more repair work on the canopy to get it to fit right. After that it will be practically brand new again. I can't wait!

Hmmm. Didn't realize I was posting something to the front page of the website. Is there another sub forum that I should have put this in?

You didn't post to the front page, I liked your post so much I promoted it to an article
