Well, just to say that I have fixed the ASW15 wing ! :D
Not really a how to, but if a few are interrested, I'll post a "how to" :wink: :P
Wing broken like that is normally a write off, but with a few tricks, you can have it back to the old glory !
That's how it started :

The weird thing, is that when the 2 pieces were put together, 3mm were missing to join the 2 halves ! :shock: Not sure what happened here!
Also, I tough the aileron servo was dead... But it's not! :D I saw a crack, so I guessed that was dead, but after closer inspection, that 's the glue I used for the servo that cracked. Tested the servo with a servo tester for about an hour, and all went well !
Not bad for a 10 euros servo that took the full force of the impact !
Anyway, looks like the weather is acting mad for the rest of the week, so no flying this week end (and next, not here! :cry: ).
Good to have he '15 back ! :D

Yes, landing that ol’ bird was a handsome feat of flying skill Fred.
Strange that 3mm of wing was missing? But never mind. You got it fixed, well done :clap: Er,….how about a picie of the finished work?
I haven’t been flying since Tuesday…..low cloud / rain, and it looks no better till the middle of next week at the earliest. :cry:
We should have another fly -in on the Big L soon. :D I’ll keep an eye on the forecasts for next weekend.

I'll try to find a bit of time this week to update the website with a how I did it, that can be helpful for someone (hopefully not!)

Hey Keith,
Yeah, meant worse :oops:
Did a quick job, as I ran out of filler (never use filler, but this time, needed some ! :!: ) so you can see a few bumps etc... Will fix that someday :roll:
