Even though I haven't exactly repaired anything quite like your mig, I have to think its fixable. It may not be as pretty if you have lost alot of the foam. But I would say line up what you have and glue it, fill in the holes....Sometimes if you have a big odd shaped hole in the foam its easier to square it up neatly, then glue in a new piece and shape it... Sometimes its less about a right and wrong way as just thinking up a route to go !

good luck

There's nothing to it...Personally, I'd toss the crumbled/squished foam pieces, fit in the larger "undamaged" pieces, patch what's missing, and off you go.

I kinda want to do both. Ive got to do a review on this one and I still have to get video of it in the air. If I can make this one fly I can order a cheap chinese f86 as its replacement.
