Spare parts are available to repair your Micro Albatros.
Please see the spare parts list earlier in this manual for
the parts available and the part numbers.

1. If your model gets damaged, the best way to repair
it is by using foam-safe cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive
(GPMR6069) and foam-safe CA accelerator (GPMR6035).
CA accelerator can speed up the cure of CA, but be careful
not to spray parts directly as they will cure too fast and
create heat that will melt the foam structure. A #11 hobby
knife (EXLR9018) and a pair of thin pliers (HCAR0625)
or hemostats are also nice to keep on hand when you go
fl ying. Clear household tape or hinge tape (DUBQ0916)
can be helpful when repairing the elevator or rudder
hinges. Lighter fl uid (naphtha) is a solvent that debonds
the adhesive used to stick the fuselage or other foam
parts together. Apply sparingly and use caution as this
is fl ammable. All of these supplies can be purchased at
your local hobby shop and hardware store.

2. If you break the propeller, you can replace it easily.
Carefully remove the foam spinner cone from the propeller
using your hobby knife or a small fl at blade screwdriver.
Hold the propeller shaft fi rmly with a pair of small pliers.
Grasp the propeller hub and rotate the propeller while
holding the prop shaft stationary as you pull the propeller
off the shaft. Fit a new propeller with the curved face of the
propeller blade facing forward, pressing the prop all the
way onto the prop shaft. Using a few drops of foam-safe
CA on the inside of the spinner, attach the foam spinner
to the new prop.
