Why not try to fix it yourself if on a budget. Go to your LHS, match up the wood and put the puzzle back together. Its not as hard as it may seem. If youve never done it before, just let it sit a few days and go back and take a look at it. You might be surprised how simple it can be, just time and patience.

Thats true theres a guy out at our flying field thatll crash a planes and will piece a plane back together and glue every piece back together and within a week he'll have the same plane back in the air! also once crashed my easy sport off of my barn and crunched in the entire left front part of the fuse! (all the radio compartment on the left side) I just cut it off smooth and cut a piece of balsa to match and within 20 minutes had it glued and recovered! might take a lil more work with your reactor but itll be worth saving $90 bucks if you ask me!

I'm gonna try but I just don't think it's fixable, the lg block looks like it was hit by a bomb!

IF you'd like, take some pics and post. We can walk you through it if need be. A few months ago I cracked the tail off of my Aeroworks Edge right off. This was my first repair job so I was skeptical. I just made clean cuts and replaced with new wood, with a little reinforcement in these areas. Plane looks as good as new. Cost me about $5 in wood, and 1 roll of covering. If you dont have a band saw and all that.....a dremel is the best thing to have. Its all I use.
At the least it'll give you something to do while you save up the $90 - and improve your building/repair skills. You wont know until you try.
