Ok Guys

Confession time dumb thumbed the Groovy on landing, still had the rates on full with ailivators as well as I approuched the landing spot one wing dipped, overcorrected with the high rates and cartwhelled the thing into the deck, supprisingly little damage, already repaired the fus just some damage to the rear behind the wing where it slew back and punctured the balsa, ripped off one landing gear leg that will be more difficult to repaire as it already has carbon tows and fibreglass on it, the mounting ply has sheared down one of its laminations, my thoughts are to take out the bolts and put another ply plate above the originall and bolt straight through, Only one wing damaged the fibreglass joining spar guide ripped out of the wing and broke up some of the ribs, so have removed the top balsa sheeting and effecting reparies as I post.

This all gives me a chance to get rid of the colour sceme it came in and add some individuallity. Any suggestions for a scheme chaps?
