BookBoy 34 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 After flying my Revs for a little while now, I have a couple of broken spars lying around the house. While part of me wants to throw them out as part of a decluttering exercise, the hoarder part of me thinks they must be useful for something. What do you all do with broken spars? Does anyone have any creative uses for them? Jonathan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robtulloch 185 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dust masks on... I've put an angled cut on the tip on some, then a liberal coat of 2 part epoxy on the ends and use them as a "travel stake". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BookBoy 34 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Oh, good idea. With a 12 week international trip coming up this year, any weight reducing travel ideas are going to come in handy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnnmitchell 215 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 It most likely has cracks along the length that you can see which means it will fail again and early. Personally I would throw the broken rods away. But do so properly because it is carbon fiber. Usually it should NOT go to normal trash. Check your local regulations concerning disposing of carbon fiber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kwmf 177 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I also use them as backup beach stakes (after cutting it back from where it broke) Not often I use it, but it happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reef Runner 33 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I never broke one . Guess I wasn't flying hard enough ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
