Here is a misshap from years ago when the Inovative models spinner self distructed. The front of the airplane "Exploded" and I was able to get it back in. Notice engine running on 1/2 propeller blade and piece of propeller departing in 1st photo:

Notice gap between wing and fues in photo "miss5.jpg". The front 2 wing blocks were split and front wing bolts were gone. Only one wing bolt in the back was in. It landed with only 1 wing bolt! After the last photo, I grabbed the engine, moved it back and forth and the firewall came right off.

This airplane has been re-built 2x since. Not from damage but from normal wear and tear.
