After dissecting a few umx timbers of different variety I've learned that once you have it separated, you can take foam filler (add water to thin it out) and run it along the top edge where you cut because if you're like me, you'll have some little jagged areas or uneven areas where your knife dug in. Run the filler along the top in a thin layer to fill it all in. Let it dry and sand it smoothe before you attach the wing and viola, it'll be a tad more rigid AND you'll have fixed any little jagged areas you may have caused

It’s actually possible to remove the aileron servo without removing the wing: just very carefully hog out the area of the fuse/wing where the servo wire goes thru, just enough for the plug to be pulled out of the fuse: put the new plug back thru the same way: on my 4th one, so done it several times already!! Great video!! Thanks! John in MD

I bought a broken TT Umx and the last thing I need to do is to glue this two parts of the fuselage. I don´t know if they were originaly glued or not, but holding only by the stickers doesn´t look too stiff :P.... Cool video as always!

I´ll use foam glue or maybe better CA. I have one that seems to work with this TT UMX, at least it doesn´t destroy a part of the spinner I had...

Good video, Sean. Looking forward to the next one. Haven’t had to do this to mine yet (thank goodness), but this is very useful information. It sure looks fragile.

I had to replace a bad aileron servo as well. HH sent me a new wing with decals under warranty. I ended up doing something similar to what you did and it has worked about fine. I just transferred the new servo off the new wing to the old wing so I didn't have to transfer the LEDs along the wing or the decals. I didn't have to split off the fuse either, just took my time. I used FoamTac to put it back together. In examining the bad servo under a microscope, it appears to me to be the soldering of the very small wires that was suspect and causing a dead servo but I can't prove that.

hi there glad it worked out for you . you should try to solder it back and see if it works or just touch the wire to make the connection . you will hjave to use a magnifing glass or something. i got a set of these glasses from amazon that have different lenses that are different strenth of magnification . they are great i use them all the time when working on the small parts of the planes

@@GRIFFINRCPLANES have a part number or link? I'd like a pair. At 67 can't see as I use to. Have a cheap pair of jewelers glasses but they only have one magnification. Seen a video of yours with a interesting pair of glasses that could fold up - or at least it looked like it. Keep up the informative videos. Really enjoy them and learn alot from them.
