Due to my use of better wood, when I rebuilt my Avistar wing after a midair, the new wing came out so much lighter that I had to add weight to kep it out of a continuous gradual right bank. (And yes I know I should have done the lateral balance, but I didn't, so sue me...)

Also, there is a guy on e-bay that sells Avistar parts fairly cheaply. Since your wing is not badly damaged, I'd say take the 2 hours and fix the wing. Then search e-bay for a guy esatkins or search for avistar. He sells wings and fuselages (sometimes with very minor damage, mostly on the wings) for reasonable prices. You can usually get the fuse for about $40 shipped and the wing for about $45 shipped. He sells 1 to 2 fuses a week and about the same # of wings. The fuses typically come with all the ARF hardware.

I agree that the fuse is repairable, but its going to be a pretty tedious job and will likely take 4 to 6 hours. Also, if you need a new motor mount or nose wheel blocks, then you are going to have to put $20 to $25 into it anyway with wood, parts, and new covering. For that I'd spend the extra $20 and get a new ARF fuse from e-bay. Then you don't have to worry, just install radio gear, engine and go.
