Default RE: first kit build question / problem

No I just have not put the dowels for the wings on yet in the picture. Thought aboutmaking perm wingsbut glad I did not as the rubber bands that hold a trainer wing on are there to give a bit of "give" in the event of hard landings and tumbles.

My plane was put into the safety fence on a dead stick second time out and I think the damage would have been far worse with a fixed wing. Think the fusalage or wing root area would have suffered.

Done a 24 hour repair and flew the next day.

Rebuild pics in "crash and build" section of forum.

First two pics lt40 damage, third pic is the somethin extra wings.
