Whats in your maintenance hangar right now? Lets give it a shot and see all of the different problems out there and help others solve their problems.

Plane: Flyzone Cessna 182 Select

Problem: Motor Mount needs to be reglued

How did it happen?: I think when it came in for a landing and it flipped that made it loose.

What you need to fix it?: CA Glue

I got nothing right now. Except a kit which I'm in the middle of building, but don't have the desire to finish (or the materials to).

Cool thread.

How about all the *still in the box* and *half finished* planes that I have laying all over the place....

Can I get help with those too....

Broken prop.

I've replaced all the servos, the esc, the motor, the receiver and the battery.

Still won't fly. Has a hell of a vibration.

Thinking of putting on a new prop to see if that helps.

Are you sure you gonna be able to find a prop for that?

I mean.... its a pretty rare plane and all....

I would try cutting the rudder in half, it can help lots. Also, remove half the wing.

Putting new blade in my knife right now.... will report back with the results...

I am putting together a 1/5 scale WACO YMF-3 and I have gotten to the landing gear. I have never been able to solder. I have had people tell me how to do it, I have read many articles on how to do it but every time I try I screw it up. A friend is going to come over this week and see if he can get it done.

Thanks, Xpress.... all it does now is flop around uncontrollably, and it just put a big gouge in my mother's moss covered three handled family credenza.

I have no serious repairs in progress but a few half-assembled or NIB kits and arfs lying around.

There's an Intern-66 that needs to be covered and finished. A 50% (55") electric Agri-Duck that's needed minor repairs since about... several months ago.

Now that summer's in full swing, I'm revisiting other long-forgotten hobbies like sailing and hiking, so planes aren't getting my full attention.

There's an Electrifly Seawind EP that will be finished in a week or two, in time for a week's vacation at a lakeside cottage.

Plane: GuanLi J-3

Problem: range issues

How did it happen: When I added my lighting system

What I need to fix it: Re-solder and clean up wiring

I've got an Electrifly/Great Planes Spad in the hangar right now. I'm fairly new at this and my runway is a gravel road. Anyways, long story short, I have found that if I'm not perfect on my landings that the WWI planes tend to flip really easily!

On the last landing I flipped and tweaked the wings and cracked some balsa. I've got the replacement parts on the way so I hope to have it repaired soon. Once it's repaired I plan on practicing a bunch more before I take it back up and try landing it again.
