On the road to recovery...

I created a semi template from pieces I had, then tried to get everything about equal. Some are a bit short on the front dowel leading edge so to strengthen I cut little tiny pieces of balsa to support the sides. Also I put 3/16 x 1/4 strips of balsa along sides of the ribs where they join the spars. I should be covering by tonight, and flying tomorrow with some luck.

Radio equip is fine. I learned a hard lesson about downdrafts, flying in wind, and flying near trees. Unless I was 'shot down', regardless I will always keep this in mind.

Engine, we will have to see. I have to rip it apart and clean her out. Got some mud and debre in it. Doh, forgot the fuse needs about an hours worth o repair. I'll be up till 3am as is and prolly won't get to fly tomorrow...but am at least capable to if we by some chance get another nice weekend. We shall see.
