Dead stick.

Engine:
The 2 fire walls (total 1" thick) appears to have protected the ignition, wires and engine. With the exception of 4 push rods missing, she looks in pretty good shape. I'll find out when I send her in for repair!


Fire wall repair:
The bottom of the two fire walls were broken off so new ones will be fabricated.
The sub fire wall was easy to remove as only 12 bolts were removed to separate it from the removable fire wall.
The removable fire wall took a lot longer to get all the servos, ignition and, especially the engine box off the fire wall. The heat gun and lots of banging with old wood chisels were used to remove the box from the fire wall after all the screws were removed.
Some new 1/2" thick plywood from rockler wood working store for the new fire walls. Should be able to re-use the engine box by sanding down the back of it.
