I don't know how many times I have had planes that I thought were a total loss. I would go off and leave them for a week or two and then I would start haveing ideas on how to fix them. You might find it fun in a couple weeks to try to fix the wing. After all, You don't have anything to lose at this point. If you havent done anything like this before talk to a coupe of the builders in Your club. Post pick's, I'm sure people here on RCU would be glad to walk You throught it. The person who taught Me to fly, taught Me a lot about rebuilding. Now, after I get done being disappointed at what I have just done, I enjoy the adventure! I'm working on one now.

Just finished putting it all together and was hanging it in the garage....Then it slipped out of the hanger. My wing is trash. Could repair it, but it is brand new. Tower is out of stock. Anyone know where else to order parts for this other than tower?
Thanks

That's the first Venus I've seen broken there. I've had two that broke right behind the canopy, including this one which was my first. It was repaired once, but I threw in the towel after this crash and just started with a new airframe.
