I added a picture to #9 to sort of reinforce the theory of "don't throw it away until it's been sitting for a few days".

The plane was flown into a tree trunk and was pretty much toothpicks from the leading edge forward. My friend said he was going to toss it and I said to let me see what I can do. I think the end result speaks for itself. I made up the whole front end using the TLAR method (That Looks About Right) and cowled in the bottom.

It's still a sweet flyer.
