A crash is a disappointment for me. IF the plane is a total loss (wings destroyed and airframe less than 50%), I strip it right away and move on. If it is repairable but extensive, I set it aside for awhile (sometimes quite awhile) until I'm in the mood for the challenge of rebuilding to like new condition. This is most often more challenging than building new, and I need to be in the mood for it. If the damage is minor, I will usually make the repairs right away.

I don't like to throw things away. I do have a Dick Roush 33% Laser 200 in the Bud Light colors that I would pass along to some one "in the mood". She flew nice with a 4.2 Sacks in her day. I flew her for maybe 5 years, then I sold her and the guy spun her to the ground one day. I wound up getting the wreck back. I put a new front clip on her, fixed the wing, but that is as far as I got. It is all fiberglass and I had covered the entire plane with Ultracote. Even the cowl and wheel pants. I don't see getting back to her for some time. Too many projects, and she is a little heavy by todays standards. 96" WS. Come and get her.
