Default My Crashed Aresti 40, Replaced!

Well folks after a week I received a nice package via UPS today. Some of you may have read my post in one of the threads a couple of weeks ago concerning my Aresti 40 falling apart in midair. Well they replaced it, noting that I had not cut the wood while trimming out the covering before mounting the horizontal stab to the fuselage. They suspect that it was a glue joint failure, theirs not mine, that ultimately caused the failure in the first place.

I'll be making the tail out of 1/4 sheet balsa this time just to be sure and replacing all of the hinges with robart hinge points.

Sometimes there are (moderately)happy endings!
