Default RE: I am an idiot.

Not as bad as Hester's friend (or whom ever), While flying IMAC, crashed a 35% Edge 2 days before a contest due to a flameout in torque roll, worked 10 hrs to finish my 37% Extra, and the Ail fluttered 30 sec into the first flight. Was strange watching the wing flex 6-10 inches (it looked like) until one wing panel broke in half prior to the auto rotation into the ground.

The kicker was I had a brand new Well Cargo trailer waiting in Waco we were going to go get the next day, I just didn't have any planes to put in it. Luckily John Johnson helped me strip the extra out, and wouldn't let me throw the fuse and crashed things away, before leaving for Waco, so That is when I decided to rebuild it.

To help keep your chin up, I repaired both, although not composite. If you wonder where my knowledge of plane $$ comes from, there ya go.

Look at it another day when you feel like building and it will look different.
