I think I let the airspeed get to slow while I was trying to correct the porpoising. The chunk out of the fuselage from the prop strike shouldn't be too difficult to repair.

I'm having a difficult time seeing what's what in the nose gear compartment. It looks like on the left side the steering arm has a little brass bushing on it that rolls in a track. I don't think the gear is extending all the way. There is some movement in it so maybe a screw is partially pulled out up inside someplace. Not quite sure how to get in there yet. The horns broke off the nose wheel doors and the spring is gone. They are not on the replacement parts list so I'll have to contact someone and see how I go about replacing them. Certainly they wouldn't have me buy a whole new fuselage! We'll see.
