Crashed it earlier this year. Destroyed one wing and the other is a bit of a mess also. Decided I would rebuild with a foam core wing. I looked at the fuse last night thinking it was repairable. Well, it could be but I think it would be better to scratch a new one. much delamenation of the ply doublers in the cockpit/engine bay area. The firewall is split down the middle also. I think I will be able to use the turtle deck behind the cockpit and the tail feathers are intact and usable. I glued up some fuse sides last night and will lay them out tonight and begin cutting. The fuse is basically just a box so it should be a relatively easy build.

The cause of the crash appeared to be the horizontal stab leaving the rest of the airplane behind[:@] Had a Enya 90 4C on it and it was flying superbly just before the fateful moment. OH, just a minute before the crash, in a high speed pass over the field I could see the elevators waving by-by to me I'm sure that had nothing to do with anything....... right???
