I'm reconsidering adding the doubler. Replacing the rear arm is obviously the correct way to repair the MP. However, my "crash" was a minimal event, with the MP falling about 15 feet into tall grass as I watched... It "landed" with the rear in a downward position and the rear arm support...

Won't be the first time!!!

Thank you!! Looks like I was wrong... Think I'll revisit my repair plan, an perhaps simply replace the right rear arm assembly. Can't be too difficult to disassemble, then re-assemble.... Thanks again!

Back motor arm is fine... It's the body portion that holds the arm in position when unfolded that has a hairline crack... The template is for a gusset to laminate on top of the cracked support surface. Gusset will be 1/16" Lexan, epoxy cemented to the support surface. I'll make two, one for...

Just tried that, and yep... worked fine! Thanks for the tip!

Polar Pro is the way to go!
