Default RE: Bashing an old trainer

I bashed my trainer, after crashing it. It was a Laniar Explorer 40 that I put into a rail fence resulting in the second photo. I salvaged the wing and buitl a stick type fuse for it. I extended the tail by 1 1/2" and the nose by 2". Made a really nice flying plane. I lost it in the creek bed behind the field where it layed for about four months. In the mean time, I had a second wing, so I built another fuselage and flew it for a while longer before descovering the fence. That one trashed the wing so bad that I coppied and scaled down my 4*60 wing and cut most of the dhydrial out. That was a great flying plane. Untill "The Crash" I still have part of the fuselage and am thinking about building it out again.
