Fixing broken planes

[Squishyp38]

I was test gliding my rufe, because I figured that it actually was NOT too heavy to fly, but I accidentally broke some of the wing spars. My question is if this happens, do I have to cut the tissue off then splice the broken parts and recover it?

once you break it its never the same even if you do try to fix it. but you could do that.

You can repair it. Here is a video link of someone repairing a balsa model airplane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erxs74Vi9wI
There are other video links on this forum, I'll bump the thread up to the front page.

If you can break it, you can fix it.

Just strip off some of the tissue where the damage is, replace or strengthen the broken parts, and recover.
