broke one of the hairlike rudder wires

Anonymous 10 years ago • updated by 10 years ago • 1

gently bending the rudder and fin because it got distorted in a crash, one of the tiny tiny hairlike wires broke. now the rudder doesn't work, and the plane does turn. how do i fix that? it's so tiny, i don't think i can get a soldering iron to it, and the heat would melt the foam etc. is there a conductive glue or something that i could blob on there?

Hi, you can actually try to solder it. You of course have to be careful with the foam. Try to lift the wires from the foam a little bit. Should be enough to protect the foam. Otherwise just put some thick paper inbetween. The wire itself is a coated copper wire. While soldering the lacquer/varnish is removed by the heat of the soldering iron. This is great because it is need to actually make a stable contact.
Let me know if it worked. Ulrich
