The Big Fix, Viper Fin Can



My "indestructable" Quest Viper finallly showed some flight fatigue!
This crack in the fin can could have been there for months, it was a clean break right down the root edge of a fin.
A paper towel is below the root edge bottom where the glue might drip off the bottom.
Don't remove the fin can -
Gently pull the crack open and place some drops of medium CA glue.
Close the open gap with light pressure and hold until the glue sets up. Pick up any excess glue that is squeezed out with the paper towel.

I know, Super Glues (CA glue) gets brittle over time. I was looking for a quick fix. If it comes apart again I'll try something else.
