Yup..Jim folded the wings and BROKE the CF tube! We heard a loud crack and looked up to see Jim's plane with a whole lot of Diehedral...The velcro he put to help old the wings saved his plane from total destruction.

  • Thats probably not CF and mot likely Fiberglass.

  • Is that the same guy from years ago that painted a EPP eagle so well?

  • Humm... Thats interesting. I just picked one up off CL for a great deal and the person selling it glued the wings into the body. I looked in the owners manual and sure enough it shows using glue to glue the wings in. The plane is in new condition. Worried that with them glued in that will increase the damage from some mishap. Amazing that it snapped like that, I don't think I'll be doing any maneuvers on purpose that load the winds that much!

  • @theleabres About 70mm back from the leading edge.

  • where is the CG on this model? Is it 60mm?

  • @hugodwong i think the aluminum tube would work well

  • hahahaha "its an eagle!"

  • @TorontoR I got my tube from a kite store. They usually carry many different sizes.

    You can also order them online. The stock diameter is 6mm. The one I used was just a hair larger at .240 in. I would imagine a 1/4 tube would work also.

  • where can I find tube/ rod? Mine broke too and want to find a light weight replacement soon
