Update 2 Great Planes Decathlon 40 Crash Repair

[@budmartin8297]

Great job repairing and rebuilding! Good luck on the re-maiden!

Thanks, Bud. It's all ready to go - but really windy today. I'll complete the video on the repair today, but it will be a bit of a wait until I have the opportunity to fly it. But, I will upload that as well when the time comes!

Fantastic Jim. You work very quickly.

[@RCJim]

This repair was helped along a lot due to having the plans. It also helps being retired!

Nice work Jim ! Love your channel

[@RCJim]

Awesome, thank you!

That's coming along nicely Jim, I usually have the hinges at the top and a gap underneath on the ailerons, only because it's harder to see the gap when its underneath.

[@RCJim]

That's a good thought.

In thinking about that further, it may also be more efficient to have it hinged on top as you have suggested. The rapidly moving air across the top of the wing creates the low pressure area that creates lift. Disrupting that flow may very well reduce lift. Hinging on the top would minimise that issue, as would my cobbled up plastic gap covers.

My rc planes are broke and to the side. Im sliding towards Carrera slots because I seem to be unable to brake them. And real fun.

Slots, as in slot cars?
