Thread: Broken Altitude Peg

  1. #1

    Default Broken Altitude Peg

    Hello guys

    I was playing some WoW Revised Deluxed Set when i accidentally broked one altitude peg of the SPAD.
    At moment, i felt a pain in my heart, but continued playing (the SPAD had been shot down in the first round).
    So now, i ask you, my dear wingmen: does anyone know how to fix it? The "nozzle" is stuck on the base...
    Thanks

    I had that happen once. I ended up drilling a small hole in the bottom so I could push the bit out of the base.

    Depends if you want to keep the peg piece or not.

    With the peg that is broken you can use that as the centre peg of the AA bases.

    To get the peg out of your base use a dremmle or pin vice with a medium drill bit ( they normally come with some drill bits so take your choice) and just drill out the peg, after a few turns it will pop out of the hole, honest

    Thats what I tried first but it had found a new home. I had to attack it from below to win!

    Then try a bigger bit, it will come out without damaging the hole, but of course you lose the peg

    Thanks Chris, i will try that. I was thinking that if i taked it out, i could glue it back to the peg.
    Do you think that this would work?
    Thanks

    If simply gluing it does not work, you may have to drill fine holes in the peg piece and the rest of the peg and insert a small piece of metal like a piece from a sewing pin.

    Hi Nic, no using the method I describe you will lose the peg, using Peters you should recover the broken peg.
    As for gluing, try using a plastic cement type glue, this will melt the two pieces together to give a good bond.
    David's method is good also

    You could always put a ball on the bottom of your plane and a magnet on one of your pegs. Check out this thread here and look here to buy some.

    It is not my method. It comes from the Anchorage where it was used by Nightmoss to repair a broken mast.

    The process didn't go well, so i just glued the peg back to the rest of it, that was stuck in the base. So the base now have one unrevovable peg. It looks good and i don't have any problem playing with it.
    Thanks
