Default RE: Flight Write up with pics

i'm not sure if i'm seeing the pictures right but did you not epoxy the wings together? i see in one of the pictures that the center rib on one wing half is completely clean. although i doubt this caused the accident, it may have somehow contributed to it.

another thing, i'm not sure how the engine was mounted but if the engine mount came loose, make sure you glue that thing on properly and maybe add some more tristock or something to ensure that it doesn't pull free.

otherwise, looks like repairs are coming along fine.

also, if you have dual rates on your plane, i'd suggest that you use one for take offs and landings and the other for "for fun flying". that way you ensure yourself that you're not overcompensating for anything at the most critical times (take off and landing).
