Title: Urgent emergency repairs
Post by: WilliamA on August 04, 2019, 06:05:18 PM
 :'( :'(  Just checked Joseph's Mini Apprentice for tomorrow's flying , and discovered that the top bracket that holds the front landing wheel is broken. The hobby shops are all closed now and also for the holiday tomorrow, besides it may prove difficult to get a part like that except by placing an order, which will probably  take a couple of weeks .    What to doooooooo Hmmmmmmmm   ??? ??? ??? :'( :'( :'(   Thinking , thinking.
Got to get it repaired for tomorrow so Joseph can fly.School is starting next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring it to the field, have the doctors look at it.  If they can repair it... great.  If they can't- just hand launch it and go flying.
A plane's landing gear is over-rated.  8)    About 1/3 of my planes don't have landing gear.  Poor man's retracts.
