About a year and a half ago I badly damaged my Peridot after pushing the flight pack to hard for too long and end up paying the price with a very hard outfield crash. Fuze was damaged and the left wing destroyed. I've now completed the fuze repair. My first time tackling such a job, and I'm very pleased with the final result. Ended up going through the whole plane and repairing and re-spraying almost all of it, including stabs and rudder. A very time consuming process, and it leaves me with a greater appreciation of the skills and effort to scratch build to a high level of quality and finish. Attached are some pics showing the original after crash pic, the repair process, final result, and the wings as I have them. The left wing is, I think, beyond repair (at least for me). It remain unrepaired so I now have a fixed fuze but am short a wing. Anyone perhaps have a spare left Periodot wing that survived a crash and is looking to fly again?
The crash
Fuze damaged
Realigned and carbon and glassed repair inside and started to use filler etc. Am going to run single prop so put right thrust back into the nose as I had cut the nose for the contra previously.
Here she is now. All fixed :-) except for the wing...
Just the left wing is still seriously damaged.....
