Default RE: Crash of the Avistar

rebuild it...........that's all i can say!!! my first avistar came home with me one faithful day in a plastic wal-mart bag....LOL after around 2 1/2 to 3 months of tinkering with it (i had another trainer to fly during this period) she was back air-worthy! still flies great today to my best memory, that plane has had 3 or 4 major crashes, and it still flies! when i rebuilt it, i trashed the trike gear and made it into a taildragger, best thing i ever did for this plane.

hate to hear about your loss but i'll tell you like it was told to me when i got into this hobby.

there's two kinds of planes, first there's those that HAVE crashed and then, there's those that ARE GOING TO crash. (still doesn't make it any easier!)

keep flying and if no one has told you yet, welcome to the addiction.......er hobby rather. LOL
