Many of us would have just trashed the airframe and moved on. Much respect for a fantastic job.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your repair tip with us all..
I have got a question; Why are you using peel ply at outer skin repairs? I can understand inner repairs as the peel ply creates a surface ready to glue on..
Unless when the peel ply is removed it is easyer to sand??

peel n ply creates a more consistent surface with fewer pinholes in one easy step.

peel ply also absorbs excess glue, and allows for easier adhesion of fabrics to the repaired part.

Think I might throw a merlin 140 in an ultra-flash and see how well she scoots -
