I recently introduced my plane into a tree branch about 2 weeks ago. This was my first crash that has happened to me and to be honest i was a little overwhelmed about fixing it...the more I looked at the the more i thought i wasnt going to be able to fix it. but, i thought about it and really it wasnt as bad as i thought it was. I took it all apart( covering off, engine out, wings apart) and checked the damage...I had 2 holes in my leading edge, my fuse was broke in the middle, and my tail seperated upon impact. Luckily everything broke off in big pieces so i scooped them up and they fit right back into place. I epoxied the joints good and let it sit, now its all sanded and ready for covering. Like they said in earlier replies, do it in little steps. For me I did the fuse first, starting with the tail. I did the peice that goes over the top of the elevator one day, and the bottom one the next. In a little more than a week im ready to cover it. Then onto the wings...ect.

Again this was a minor crash but what comes up must come down...someway or another...and, with time and patience it will go back up
