Thank you very much for showing this. I am slowly getting back into RC airplanes after too many years off. Foam is "new technology" for this old guy so this helps answer a number of questions I had. Thank you again, keep em' flying.

Everyone except for Nate just wipes the excess hot glue away with their finger 😂

Nate is nate 😅 and I love him for it. And he's got a super cool misses rcing loving life me thinks. 😊god bless you both 🙏

Abby and Nate, y'all rock! ❤ Peace

the Sky and that Glider looked INCREDIBLE

Gorilla glue white is my vote but hot glue can be nice for in-field repairs. I think if you have the time to wait, gorilla glue is stronger and lighter and expands into the broken crack better

I just use my finger to wipe the excess hot glue away I'm pretty sure my right pointer has absolutely no print left lol

Something i do lol

Nothing like a glue thread (in this case video) to get 50,000 opinions. In the end, you do you. Good work Saylor's.

I crashed my A280 P51 last weekend HARD & Broke the battery cover completely in two! I remembered Nate saying that’s how he fixes styrofoam on his planes in a few episodes. Worked like a charm! Thanks Nate!👍🇺🇸

Loved and shared!

Relative ease of repair is a big plus that comes with flying foamies.

Crashes happen. A little hot glue. Maybe some toothpicks for reinforcement. Flew good after the fix!!

Beacon foam tac is the best for foam planes . less mess , sets clear flexable

Yes Nate we need more videos like this. Question: My Apprentice, Opterra and Cirrus all crashed and I used normal 'Evo-stick' adhesive because these Eflite planes were made with Z foam. Is your plane made with EPP or other foam that melts with normal glue?

Every little tip and tiny bits of other people's experiences can be helpful. Learn something whenever/wherever you can.

Thanks Nate, great information. Thanks Abby, great camera work.

You’re welcome, and thank you!! 🙏👍💯⚓️

White silicone is great for filling in dents on white foam surfaces.

Great repair. 😊

Lol, I've ran my same conscendo into a tree shortly after maiden and did a very similar repair. I've since had so many great flights with it, definitely one worth repairing!

Since i started flying Planes i have a weirdly high interest in Hot glue guns

This always happens to me I'm just glad to see it there's running downhill. Good luck bad luck take it or leave it give and tag whatever you want to say it's all fun and games. Thanks y'all.

Way to go good to see your hot glue technique

Hello from Costa Rica!!! Why do you no longer make unboxing and build videos?

@TheRcSaylors

Ай бұрын

We tried to do that very briefly. It takes a lot of extra time which unfortunately we don’t have a lot of right now. We have a 5 year old and a 1 year old, and they demand a lot of attention as well as other projects/ life in general. Trust me, I’d love to do more unboxing build videos and hope to get back into them one day! 👍💯😎⚓️

What are left extra hard and long if you hit the pole again!!! Thank you for all you all do for each video!

Not to mention i bought a replacement from HH on amazon and the fuselage has dings and marks.... sent it back. my frankenstein is amazing!

Your helping us with or crashes thanks man 👌👌👌👌🤟🤟🤟

Wood glue is best the white stuff.

I just snapped my conscendo's fuselage in two due to a bad landing the other day. But fixed it using 2 part epoxy. It flies great again.

Awesome fix job Nate hot glue is the best for Foam planes etc that’s how we use to fix planes back in the day to my brother and I would go flying planes in the field we would crash into trees lol 😂 but be able to fix them awesome 👏 job my friends happy flying all 😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

Foam tac no need for all that hot glue pain in ass

Looks like the one you are using on the video, and the one you link on Amazon...are different brands. What is the brand/model you are showing on the video? Thanks. Love your vids!

Q: what about the weight of the Glue if you use alot? Does it affect the CG?

@TheRcSaylors

Great question about CG!! We have a video that we plan to do within a week or so that should hopefully help to answer this. I think it will be very eye opening for a lot of people 😉👍💯⚓️

I am not a fan of Hot melt glue because when I tried repair a crack the heat melted the foam. Do what you like but I will stick to a wood glue that is waterproof and foam safe. It takes a dry time of over night so it is not as easy however my type A personality likes the look a little better.

You just need a smaller hot glue gun. They run at a lower temp. Obviously you’ll do what you want but I fly at a busy field where it’s common to see 3-5 foam planes get wrecked in a day and back flying the same day with hot glue.

@craigsawyer6453

@@VitalArms Thanks, I will try a smaller glue gun.

I hate to be "that"guy but the glue you have linked is the .27 size. the gun is .43 but my next glue gun will be that one.

There are better ways to repair foam. It depends if you need the foam to flex and move or be stiff. ca medium or thin is the best for stiff fuselage type repairs. Especially if you add accelerator the ca will dry immediately. Gorilla glue or foam tack for anything you need flex on. Some circumstances you can epoxy as well. The only time I’ve used hot glue is to set a receiver in a location that can be removed easily and to secure servo plugs at the receiver.

i crashed my new trojan 1.1 someone told me to go right to left due to a crosswind to land well I should kept going in the pattern I was flying its hard flying right to left especially when your trying to turn n I just rolled to far right good thing is main body was still in tacked wing had a small rip in it hot glued it n was back to flying but had to trim it almost all day at the field

Was it just my tablet, or was the video pixelating/ blurry all the way through🤔. Also the first 5 - 6 comments seemed like they were for a different channel 🤔. Flew well after your ( great ) glue gun 🔫 repair tutorial. If you have a dremel tool you could grind [ carefully ] the dried glue to smooth it out. ⚓️⚓️👍💛🧡💚👍🤔🔫🤔👍⚓️⚓️.

Be careful launching it like that, those propellers have a tendency to break off.

I'm talking about the portable generator...sorry.

Cool plane, nice repair job Not sure how I feel about horizon. Their customer service suuuuuuucks! Like dealing with a 15 year old you just caught doing something wrong. 🤦 Nothing but headaches . They even tried to tell me they don't do the lead /affiliate link kickback for anybody. What you guys got your kids working for you??... A divorce attorney? Sidestep every issue, give "inaccurate" information.. I've been taking screenshots of our conversations. Keep your eyes out guys they're at it again. Thanks for the vids as always 👍

I'm sure you never could get anyone on the phone, if you have a problem you need fixed quick, or if I need some good quality advice, they always want to email back-and-forth, and not in a reasonable amount of time, I might add. A-Main, and Hobby Zone are the best if you make a phone call.

I couldn’t find that power box in the description? What’s its brand and name please 🙏 thanks guys. You look like a pro RC plane ✈️ fixer guy Nate…”on site” fixer guy🤙🏻

What state are you in I want to come and visit

Last time I tried to use hot glue on foam it destroyed the foam and made it unusable . Use foam tack adhesive it's much better no electricity required and sets in about 30 minutes

My first plane and i crashed twice already..... Hot glue is my friend! Conscendo sucks.

I didnt know this, i thaught it will smell

You should ALWAYS keep a few scraps of foam-board or cardboard with your glue gun!!! Shame on you Nate!
