If you look at the last pic you will see it was pretty much a clean break. There was damage to the wing from a rough landing a couple of years ago. The gear folded and punched into the wing. I reinforced a few ribs for the repair and it was holding up pretty good.

I'm not a 3D flyer so I don't think I put that much stress on a wing. Maybe it just decided it was time to go.

I was just talking with someone about stripping it down and going thru the frame and wing and recovering it.

I had thought of a Venus II before; but after flying that CAP I think I really want to get another one. I only stayed away from them because others told me they were difficult to fly. The only time I had a hard time was when I would dead stick during flight, which is why the gear folded on me.

I could always ease it onto those two mains and let it slow to settle the tail. Never did a three point landing, but I haven't tried it either. I heard for IMAC you have to do the three point landing and I may try to fly it some day.
