EL ****CANO sorry for the loss I know all to well the tale of the half an Eagle wing into the gret death spin into the ground,, But the great ting about the Carl Goldberg model is its all wood,, I think,,, I've never owned the ARF of it but i did own the original,, it was favorite plane for about 4 or 5 years, actually its still one of my favorite planes,, I always recommend it to any one starting out and still love flying them my self, Anyway i've rebuilt that Eagle so many times and it always flew just as great,,, so PUT that baby back together, it may seem like a lot of work,, but you can do it and it won't take as long as you think,,, I can't even tell you how many times I smashed that plane up just pushing the envelope with it, Its made me a better flyer for sure,, Thanks Carl G,,,, you Da man
