Tail ripped off, several fuz cracks, part of elevator gone, wing tip cracked
It will repair though, gonna send off to the master of repairs!
Should be airborne within a week!?

How many flights did you have on it before this....well,incident happaned ? My heart goes out to ya man.....but on an up note,i have always found that planes fly better after a good repair job....Or the pilot just flies it harder cause it finally got it's first whipping into the ground...I don't know,it's one of the two ...and good luck on the fix.

You are right voodoo child!
this plane has been in my fleet for over a year and never crashed before.... I repaired it last night with resin and its all good now, just need a new elevator servo and then I am good to go and as you say I will fly it harder next time....
I just hope I have glued the tail on straight!!!

I ended up repairing it myself, worked out ok and still flies straight!?

oops, missed half a page of replies

Thought you were thinking of Mr Fu, sadly repairs are not his game anymore. Glad you sorted it tho.

Then again Luke, if you want another Voodoo there's one on BMFA. Untouched kit, £200 +p&p. I didn't think they were that hard to get hold of, order, wait a few weeks then bingo?

Very cool to hear ......Now it has class ....I have been enjoying the heck out of mine with it's wingtip repair.

Where would be the best source for purchasing one in Europe?

Thanks!

this is where I got mine..
not sure if he has in stock though http://www.hoelleinshop.com
You can get from soaringusa if he doesnt have

Only thing I don't like about Hoellen is when you add to the basket and then do the shipping, it's always vague, with possible huge amounts added later for 'bulky items'.

What about Bigbruce racing (think that's what it's called) looks like he has them....I know SOARINGUSA has them,and they ship anywhere.

Looks like Hoellen don't have them in stock. And I think they tend to get more expensive in US. On top of that the shipping should logically be more expensive. Wan't the kit manufactured somewhere in the Tjeck republic?
