Default RE: Crash

update: After stewing and feeling sorry for myself for a couple days, I brought in all the pieces from the garage to the work bench and gave it a good looking over. I was able to salvage the horizontal and vertical stabs which is good since they were modified for a tail dragger conversion. The wing has a few cracked ribs, but nothing a little surface CA can't fix. The fuse could be rebuilt, but I just don't have it in me to fix all the splintering. I just ordered a new fuse from the LHS for $39.99. All the electronics, push rods, and engine equipment should be reusable. So this crash should cost me about $40 from the wallet which isn't bad at all. The biggest issue is time. I just don't have a lot of time to build, but I'll get around to it a little bit at a time.
