Default Diablotin Warning

I have many more photos available but I think these show the lack of glue and the that I built the plane according to the plans.

If I was building another, and I hope Esprit will replace the plane so I can, I would remove the sheeting on the bottom of the wing where the wingbolts go thru, sqiurt some thin CA in, and replace with lite ply.

If I was flying one that was already built, I would remove the sheeting from the top of the wing and get some glue in there asap.

Of course the fuselage suffered major damage as it lawndarted in. The ground was soft so I dont think there is any damage to the engine, but I will have to check the crank for straightness.
