I think by rights this should be in the crash and rebuild forums, but nevermind. I will be watching with interest. I was given a 27% extra-260 a couple weeks ago, much the same happened to it and my intentions are the same once i get some of my current projects done. It nosed in hard, fuse is about 1/2 size, but all the formers i can use for patterns, and one wing is remarkably unscathed, the other totalled. Canopy is usable, cowl is trash, landing gear is also good so I think It wont be too hard to rebuild.
