Default RE: Stupidity

Thanks for all the support and stories of experience. Makes me feel a little better........, but still have to tell my instructor about the "arborial vortex".

My damages are moderate. I'm not very knowledgeable with recovering, but I guess I'll learn. I also have some structural damage to both the fuse and the wings. The leading edge of the wing (I assume to be thin balsa rolled around the skeleton) is busted on both sides of the wing. I went ahead and ordered a new wing and a couple of props. That cost me $110.00, Stupid........Stupid......Stupid! The fuse (at the wing bolt down area) has some split ply. I think some epoxy and clamps will fix that.
