Thanks for the constructive criticism guys, as said above I'm choking this one up as a lesson learned. Hind sight is always 20-20 but I shouldn't have tried to force the take off. The plane almost always picks itself off the ground with little to no elevator. The plane got a bit squirly towards the end of the runway, probably from the bumps and I tried to get it up anyway. Somewhat like a short field take off in the real world. Just get the wheels off and gain airspeed and climb out but we all know the end result.
I think I can salvage the firewall, should be able to epoxy it back to where it was, then I'll get a new sheet of balsa and make a scarfed joint on the lh fuselage side. Some of the area around the firewall is pretty fuel soaked. Can you still get K2R anymore or is corn starch and alcohol just as effective?
