RE: the Magister is fixed!!!
I wish I had taken some pictures. the plane took the brunt of the hit on its nose and right wing tip. the plastic(or nylon) screws that I assume or supposed to break in a crash didn''t and the balsa wing support was ripped out of the fuselage. the gear box was torn from the firewall bending the prop shaft and breaking the prop. when the gearbox was forced aft the tabs were ripped out of the motor. the rightside main gear got folded into the fuse. and when the wing was knocked off the wires for the aileron servo got ripped out of the servo. the nose gear was forced to turn 90 degrees only the control cable only let it turn 45 degrees so the cable lost and broke. if it wasn''t for the way the foam on the nose of the plane is you would have no idea the plane was crashed now!!! instead of cutting another piece of balsa for the wing support, I cut a piece of aluminum with a plasma cutter using the balsa as a template. it added a little weight even after opening it up some, but I don't think that will be breaking anytime soon!!!
