Day 9: Repair your plane

If you have the EasyStar, use 5-minute epoxy to repair any damage to the fuselage. Just mix the two components together, smear a small amount on the plane with a popsicle stick or something, and then hold the plane together for five minutes while the epoxy hardens. Don’t use regular glue on the foam, because it won’t bond well, and it might melt the foam. If you crack or break the wing, use packing tape to repair it.

If you have the slow stick, you can repair any damage to the wings using packing tape. In fact, many people put packing tape over the edges of the wing just to add strength.

If you broke a part that you can’t repair, you can get a replacement part from wherever you bought the plane. Fortunately, individual parts are very cheap. I hope you like repairing the plane, because it’s part of the hobby. Most people spend far more time building and repairing the planes than actually flying them.
