Chris is this plane similar to the Beryl? If so its about as good as there is. I love Woflgang's designs. Mike

It does look a little like the Beryll with the large fuselage volume. Wish I could keep them for myself

I heard a saying once that someone with a sweet tooth should not own a candy store. I think a similar saying would apply here but I am apparently deaf to it.

Yes, electric power only. There is no chin cowl or access for installing a glow motor.

About a year and a half ago I badly damaged my Peridot after pushing the flight pack to hard for too long and end up paying the price with a very hard outfield crash. Fuze was damaged and the left wing destroyed. I've now completed the fuze repair. My first time tackling such a job, and I'm very pleased with the final result. Ended up going through the whole plane and repairing and re-spraying almost all of it, including stabs and rudder. A very time consuming process, and it leaves me with a greater appreciation of the skills and effort to scratch build to a high level of quality and finish. Attached are some pics showing the original after crash pic, the repair process, final result, and the wings as I have them. The left wing is, I think, beyond repair (at least for me). It remain unrepaired so I now have a fixed fuze but am short a wing. Anyone perhaps have a spare left Periodot wing that survived a crash and is looking to fly again?

The crash


Fuze damaged



Realigned and carbon and glassed repair inside and started to use filler etc. Am going to run single prop so put right thrust back into the nose as I had cut the nose for the contra previously.


Here she is now. All fixed :-) except for the wing...


Just the left wing is still seriously damaged.....



Regards
Clint

Hello

Hello Clint

Awesome job.
I think the best way is to repair the wing (as shown on link) and it will be easy to you with your impressive skill.

Agree, that wing is repairable.

Thanks guys, I'll have another look at it. Worst case, I'll have a go at making up some new wings and experimenting a little.

You have the root and tip profiles so why not cut a set of foam cores? You may be able to save some weight in the process...

Cheers,
Jason.

One of the beauties of woodwork is the that repairs are possible. Unless the thing was reduced to sticks, it can be repaired. Skill and patience is all it takes. Well, time too I suppose, but that's assumed.

A lot can be done with composites too unless these were reduced to a crushed mess. My Grifin suffered a fuse buckle in flight but I managed a controlled crash in a soy bean field which appeared to finish the job. My first impression was to put it in the trash. Now, after sitting on its perch for a few weeks, I am rethinking my initial impression.

It was a terrific flier so the effort to revive it and put in the extra strength where needed, is likely worth the effort. Wings and stabs suffered minor damage but the fuse was crushed in half aft of the wing TE. Have to rebuild about a 10" section of the fuse in balsa glass. Plus the crate was so light at about 4480 grams, it gives a lot of room.
