At the Nats this year I bought a Pat Teakle PIK 20 4m soarer complete with airbrakes and five servos for the princely sum of £30 from the Sunday ‘table top’ sale. Just the airbrakes and servos would fetch more than that on Ebay so there must be a catch somewhere I hear you cry especially as a similar one has just fetched £240 on Ebay. There is a catch, unfortunately it has had a heavy ‘one point landing’ which had detached the tail and caused cracking below the cockpit as well as in one wing and the tailplane, but as I paid less than nothing for it I’m not complaining.
I have just reattached the tail and thought it might be of interest to someone and hopefully generate some discussion so here goes.
As you can see below the tail was well broken off and it wasn’t a nice clean break.
