I have 2 Alpha trainers, one was converted to a real fun taildragger. I was letting my son in law have a go at it and it ended up getting planted. Hard. The fuse was broken into 3 main pieces, the wing was only cracked. It took about 2 weeks of part time work on it to repair. It has taken longer to re-cover it with ultracote. Looks as good as new now. This didn't look like it would go back together, but once I started on it, it took a lot less than I figured. Try to repair it. Once you begin, you will probably find that it is quite repairable. Don't be afraid of removing the covering to check it.
