RE: Trash Planes
This is a neat thread. I've been on both sides of this program. I've found that if I take the crashed plane and all the pieces home, let them sit for a while, somehow, eventurally, I get the energy to start cutting away covering, repair/replace a firewall, rib or two, leading edge, etc. etc. and pretty soon it starts looking fixable. It's amazing how easy and successful it is. When I think back on the planes I trashed, kind of wish I'd brought them home. Who knows? My wife thinks if she drives around on a flat tire for a while, it will re-inflate. Maybe my planes will fix themselves if I keep 'em around long enough. LOL
