Default RE: Any idea what to do with extra wings?

A couple of years ago I had an aileron servo fail fully deflected during the takeoff of my Taurus. I was able to fly it with rudder and the other aileron but failed to notice(during the panic) that the airplane was headed for a big pine tree. The short of the story is that all that was left, not in toothpick sizes, was the fuse. Onto a cabinet top in my garage it went as I could not bring myself to trash it. I had bought it at a swap meet from an 80 year old man who could no longer see well enough to fly it. A little over a year ago a club member was flying his old Taurus. He had bought his at a swap meet in Ocala, FL from another older man getting rid of all his stuff. My club buddy did a three-turn spin from a two-turn altitude and crashed it. His wing was all that was left reasonably intact. His wing, my fuse and a tail section from Home and Hobby Solutions made another airplane. It is still a great flying old plane from the 1960s. So there, save them and one of these days they may fly again
