I now have 6 planes in my fleet. My DNU, which will be repainted/decaled and hung up for decoration because of weight issues, my mustang which might have the ssame fate as the DNU, my glider which will get an electric power system and a servo controlled tow release, a crashed 40 sized avistar trainer which needes a minor fuse repair and a major wing fix(didnt break the spar though, but i have a spare wing, although i dont trust it), a small Stick ish low wing which need a rudder made for it, and a mini funtana which a guy at work gave me yesterday.

he has been trying to get rid of it since he crashed it a while back. It had been crashed once before and he went in and repaired it(broke the fuse above and behind the wing) and reinforced it pretty well. Well, he crashed it again and this time cracked 4 ribs in one wing (wing tip and in) and crunched the front of the fuse. He didnt give me all the peiced and I am not familiar witht his plane at all so I don't know how it is supposed to look. I know it comes as an ARF, but I was wondering if anyone had some really really nice photos of the front of the fuse that I could use as a guide to cut new peices from? I did a search and found many threads about this plane and glow conversions, which is what I plan on doing (mustang .15 maybe?) and some of the threads had good pictures, but none good enough that i could use for this.


oh, and does anyone know how the norvel .25 compares to the os la .15 in size, weight, and power?

Favourably. The Norvel is larger - not sure about weight - wayyy more power.
