Basically, one wing and the nose are smooshed. It will fly again, but I am not anxious to actually do the repairs, and may just put it in a bag for a while. Unfortunately, there is a big stack of black trash bags on one corner of my warehouse filled with trashed airplanes!
I don't get too upset about it. I do wish I had a few more flights before dorking it, though.
I have been thinking about retracts on the A7. I have to look closely at how to do it, where the bulkheads are, how much room...
And probably air, not mechanical. I am not a huge fan of mechanical gear. I don't think an extra four ounces or so for the retracts would be a killer.
By the way, thanks for the picture...beautiful wife, beautiful plane! Lucky guy...
