The BIG Fix, FlisKits MMX Crayon, Part 2

The replacement lug was cut from the back end of a ball point pen ink tube. The walls of the ink tube are thicker than a MMX lug but slide easily over a Micro launch rod.

The paint had torn off around the old lug glue area.
This was touched up with a black Sharpie.

The lug was roughed up with sandpaper for a better bond.

The lug was glued on using medium CA. (I know, the glue joint will get brittle over time. I'll just keep an eye on it.)

The new wrapped rear ring was a little high and the fit too tight.
Before sanding down, it got a coat of CA applied with a Q-tip.



The CA hardens the ring and prevents it from unrolling when sanding to size.
A four-sided fingernail file and 400 grit brought it down to the right diameter.
The hardened CA polishes well and made a very smooth surface.

Fixed and ready for flight!
