Status: offline 		Wing actually looks pretty fair. Fuselage? Well, the wing looks pretty fair. OK, it's gonna take some work and time. Do you have plans or big pieces to make templates with. Just worry about one piece at a time and make it into a series of small repairs. It won't seem so daunting that way. No lies, it won't be easy. You will learn a lot though.

Remember, it doesn't have to look exactly like it did before. Concentrate on the thrust angles. If you get those good, all should be OK. IMO

The repairs are looking really good,

Hmmm let's see here.

I'm starting to get a growing list of kit builders and wreck fixers for the next time I plant one or don't feel like taking the time to build a kit

I'll call you for doing repairs, I'll call RCKen to build my bipes (No Ken, the WH Ultimate is done and flown and as soon as I'm done breaking it in I'll send it to you, but I have a feeling the breakin is going take a very looonnnggg time )

MountaineerFan as a backup if Ken's really busy for doing the kits. Bruce 88123 can verify all the repairs and I'll crash err, test fly them.

J/K

Status: offline 		i think your right about the contrast in colours mate so im going with violet for the flames it looks great alongside the yellow!!.ill leave it all yellow underneath though im gonna start repairing the wings tomorrow and im thinking of using some expanding foam along the front edge under the sheeting to strengthen them.i used this for a scratch built mustang that i built but havent flown yet as i dont think im ready for it just yet lol !!.

Status: offline 		Expanding foam huh? I guess as long as it doesn't swell up so much that it causes distortion of the surfaces, that will be fine. Not heavy? Watch out for lateral balance too.
