Default RE: New CMP 50-sized Corsair

Been busy this week and finally got to fixing my Corsair this moring. Can't believe the amount of damage after falling throught a group of trees and hitting nose down. Next to none. One wing's leading edge broke back to the spar where a branch must have did that and the dummy engine has one cylinder broke out and came loose from the cowl. The cowl is scratched as hell, but no broken parts or even cracks. Must say, for an ARF, this is one hell of a strong plane with very little improvements. Even the covering on the wings didn't get tore up.
I give credit to CMP for having a great plane and the Good Lord for my luck. I had my head hung low going out in those woods just knowing I find a pile of rubble. From what I see today, this plane will be flying this weekend. Have to let some epoxy set up.
