Last December, I experienced a horrendous day at the flying field that resulted in my bringing home four models that were damaged. One of these was the Wasp glider.
This one didn't even have a chance to fly under power that day. I was hand-tossing the glider for trim adjustments when one bad throw sent the model into a straight-up stall, followed by a dive straight into the turf.
Broken glider nose.
So, a little time spent this morning yielded a repair.
Originally, the design called for the sides of the 'piece-X' cavity to be made from 1/16 balsa strips. These proved too weak to withstand any kind of a hard landing.
The new side pieces are cut from 1/32" plywood and are plenty strong enough to withstand other such mishaps.
A little application of yellow permanent marker color, and all is go...
Cheers!
