Some updates with the Bobcat
I lost the jet back in august last year after loosing turbine power. The damage was limited to the fuselage, cracks on both booms, fuels cells, one servo, and few other things.
The turbine came out without a scratch but I still sent it to get serviced just in case. The wings came out without any damages and only the wing tubes need to be replaced.
That said, I got a new fuselage and in the process of repairing the booms.

For the booms, the damage was limited to the front. After sanding the inside, I used some carbon fiber cloth and finished with Smooth On epoxy dough.

The canopy survived with only few cracks. I am updating it with a clear canopy and the BVM cockpit kit.

Canopy frame cut and glued. Fixed the strass-cracks and applied filler primer.
With the fuselage about ready, I installed back the Kingtech 120.
