Got my 46 done tonight!!!! I just did the AUW on it: 5lbs 14ozs. Before I crashed it, it weighed 5lbs 12.5ozs. I'm very please with that. Either that or I didn't use enough glue and blasa for the repair. Guess we'll see. But I used CA only and put in the same parts, spar for spar etc. My CG went back to 5 3/4" from 5 5/8". I put everything, battery, receiver, servos etc back in the same place. But I should be ok at 5 3/4" Aren't some of you guys running your CG there?

I've inspected the plane everyway I know how. It looks as straight as a new one. The incidences are the same as near as I can tell. I'm pretty happy with the repair. And basically no cost...well if you don't count the new Saito 82. I put the Saito on the bench and test run it for 60 minutes. Now I've got it in the plane ready to go. With the 14x4W prop I was able to turn 10200 RPM with my 30% fuel. Not to bad.

This repair took me longer than to build the ARF but I needed a project so it was a perfect fit.

I'll post pictures tomorrow sometime. I really am pleased with the repair. My goal is fly this baby at least 100 times before crash. We'll see!!!!>!>!>!>?!?!?!? gjeffers is at 300...that must be a record.

I'll do the maiden on Friday afternoon. And then put the other 99 flight in on Saturday.

Thanks
