How much money just went down the drain do you think? I hope it'll fly good as new (eer, I mean better ) once you fix it!

TOO SLOW! High aspect wings stall with little warning. Proper usage of RUDDER, aileron, elevator, and airspeed are essential. Sorry man, It looked like a pretty airplane. I love the beaver on floats.
Hope it goes better next time.

P51-B, he knows that.
Yeah, it doesn't look too bad, although on a model SO big, just some CA and back it goes doesn't work. I dunno dude - I guess I'd get some 1/2" alluminum or strong wood dowels and drill a hole in the front of the inner rib and back, and another to match on the fuselage where the wing meets it. Stick the dowel in both ends...bla bla bla, you get the point

Rod,
if the tailfeathers and wing look THAT good after TWENTY years, then with good care, they'll last ANOTHER 20 years! Fix it!
