After a hard landing ripped the landing gear out from the wing I decided to retire my second hand one tp keep from damaging it further. I had a friend rebuild the landing gear and repair the checkerboard covering so that it looked good again. I then removed all the radio and engine gear and made a dummy prop shaft from a dowel to mount the prop and spinner. It is now on display over the PlayPort at the Maine Mall and looks great. The kids really enjoy the space and the aviation themed buildings and interactive displays. There are several models hanging above the space to represent the different aspects of civilian aircraft. I am dissappointed it didn't fly well, but I think this is a better fate and will be enjoyed by many for a long time.
