I got some testors model glue
I have some glue for small plastic models - but is that strong enough to hold the seam. It split in the center where there's very little surface area for the glue to grab.

PVC - plastic plumbing glue
Is the PVC the stuff used for gluing plastic water pipe together. I was going over to the Home Depot tomorrow anyway. Good Idea!! That glue sounds like it would be a good choice. Comes with a ball type applicator that makes gluing easy.

Don't over do the PVC cement either. It can melt down the whole repair. I nearly killed a set of thin ABS wheel pants by flooding the seam with lots of ABS cement. A little is better than a lot.

The PVC glue worked excellent. Only $1 and I can fly this plane again. I want to thrash it till I learn so I don't do in my nice planes. Anyone know of some good techniques for slowing down the airplane when landing. This plane seems to keep floating - once it's up there it doesn't want to come down.

I could probably get that on my Futaba PCM radio that I use for my heli. The radio I am using for the airplane only has duel rates. So the question is can I use the Heli Futaba Computer radio transmitter with the basic futaba flight pack in the airplane just buy getting one same frequency crystal. How about a different manuufacterer's flight pack like airtronics for my other plane. It's probably easier to change the crystal in the transmitter vs the reciever.

The ABC body repair problem was solved with PVC glue for $1, no
reinforcement needed, glued the airplane back together like new, so this forum went into solving some problems the plane had so I wouldn't need to glue it back together again. This is a free country
gab all you want!!!!
