Can any one tell me how to fix my wings. I bought a rtf plane and the wings have what appears to be tape across the two of them keeping them together. Problem is your not suppose to remove the tape when assembling the plane. In which I didn't but had a crash and the wings came apart. does anyone no what kind of tape this would be or what i can use.
thanks.

Hi Brennan,
It would be a big help if you could supply a little more information. The type of model? Where did the wing break? Is the wing foam? You get the idea, a little more info would make it a lot easier to make suggestions.

Sorry the wings are foam. The wings were what looks to be taped together with a clear tape. The wings are fastened together by the tape and then the is a small flat bracket yiou put in the sentre of the winds and use elastic to hold them in place. The problem is the tape ripped down the middle seperating the two wings.
Thanks for any help

The plane is a Wattage cub 180. With foam wings.
