    The AllSlot Formula GP rear body post is only connected to the engine cowl with three thin stips of plastic.  In a hard crash if these crack the body can jam on the crown and lead to extreme problems. Damage can possibly be prevented bonding piano wire (5/64 or thinner) to join the back of the post to the body and to reinforce the other bridges to the wing-T.  A wire on the bottom of the wing-T can be used to prevent flexing of the wing-mount.Wingpatch-Top-1 Wingpatch-Top-2 Wingpatch-Side-1

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
