Default chip hit in the air

Hi guys, past sunday was fliying Chip here in Argentina in Club Newbry, in the midle of the fly the Chip´s plane hit another in the air, the other was a trainer ´40, the Chip´s plane was an electric F-3-A super. build by Marcelo Colombo. As result of the hit Chip´s plane loos half of one wing, aileron included and half of horizontal stab-elevator.
so Chip, start to fly in knife edge, testing the broked plane (|#~|~@¬#@~his words) and land the plane without more damage than occurs in the hit, we could not believed what we were seeing.
to see to believe
sorry my english
Regards
Platero

It will be much easier to fix than if he would have lost a whole wing ! Hope he gets it back in the air soon.
