Just a quick pic of a "reconstituted" ESM LA7. A couple of months back, the motor quit while taking off (cold solder joint) resulting in a broken wing. I decided to rebuild the wing and fully sheet it plus rebuild the gear mount box. Here is the result....the green is lighter than I want but otherwise a pretty specimen. Unfortunately, I lost the plane right after this pic was taken due to a cross wind gust getting under the wing causing it to cartwheel and destroyed both the wing and fuselage. So....after 30 something flights, this plane
is history
