I neglected to mention the reason my Rookie needs repair so here goes.

After entering the neat looking inverted flat spin at Speedworld last year, I was unable to recover from the maneuver...so on down to mother earth it did fall.

In the post crash examination, I noticed that one of the screws fastening the vectored thrust tube had backed out, probably leaving it in the down thrust position. That would explain why it wouldn't come out of the spin. Had I ascertained (which I obviously didn't) that the inability to recover was caused by constant down thrust, I would have shut down the turbine at an altitude which would have allowed me to glide to the runway.

The damage was, VERY surprisingly, not that major as most of the energy was absorbed by the vertical fins.

I have obtained new vertical fins/rudders from Comp Arf and it appears that I have made a deal for a new canopy.

On closer examination of the wing tube, though, I have discovered that there is indeed a slight bend in the tube.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks to all who have helped thus far!
