Default RE: How to pick up the crash and move on

ORIGINAL: Steve Landron

Pick up the pieces, assess the damage, refer to the plans for any questions, rebuild. Get over the carnage. Repeat as necessary.


That all depends if it's worth it or not? My ARF Extra 260 is about $180 and still being produced, and if I were to rebuild it? $220+ time. Now if my ARF was discontinued and almost impossible to get, then yes- I'd keep rebuilding it until the glue was so heavy on it I'd have to get a FAA registration for it!

All kits and scratch built aircraft I think differently, and agree with you 100% Steve. But that's only my opinion on the matter. Depending on our own personal building and repair skills determines if a plane is worth rebulding. Emotional attachment kind of makes our planes live almost forever because some of us refuse to let them die unless it caught fire.
