Hi all,
I was *this* close, my friends. My Orbital Transport, a kit which I wanted SO badly as a child, had the booster finished and waiting for paint. It was sitting atop my fleet box, when a LARGE box from an adjacent pile slid off and into the fleet box.
On the positive side, the OT Booster broke the fall and nothing else was damaged.
On the negative side, the tube has a serious kink in it now. Bad enough that I don't think the tube can be salvaged.
I'd love to save the balsa fins. Especially the big main wing assemblies.
Can anyone recommend a way to remove balsa fins from a bare Estes BT, that have been attached with Elmers Carpenter's glue?
Thanks (he said, hopefully).
