ICYMI, bounced the right wing off a building while landing, crunched the cowl and heeded a few repairs, but it is just about ready to fly again. Got a new wing tube to cut to size, finish repairing the cowl, and then rebalance and it is ready to fly.

The problem was depth perception, I thought I was in front of it, but turned out to be behind it, due to the difference in size between this one and my other planes. Yeah, some moron built a hanger and we have to fly between it and a line of trees on certain days. If it weren't for a trailer at the end of the runway, which they were saying all summer they would move, I wouldn't have been as far left as I was.
