I'd be interested in a full composite airframe...i'm too lazy for rivets :-)

I don't think saying your talent is fantastic qualifies anywhere near to truth. Damn your Good!

Thanks so much for sharing your project with us.

[X(]NO! Let me be the first to comiserate with you. Watching it drop a wing made my stomach churn... I hope you get it back in the air.... you deserve it. This is an amazing aircraft and needs to get airborne. Well done, despite the crash... keep smiling and post some more pictures of the repairs. Maybe that fibreglass plug would have been a good idea eh?! [:o]

So sorry to see that. The pleasure is in the build right?

I'm really sorry... is there anything else to say?

What went wrong? did you find out?

THat's too bad, it looked really nice. You need to gain some airspeed before you go into a turn like that. You'll get em next time.;)

My words from the very beginning....
I'm sorry for the crash, i feel deeply with you. I lost my Sabre in a similar way (crosswind, no rudder, too slow, too much inputs to avoid a roadsign...).
judging from the video the damage should not be irrepairable....i hope. Amazing plane and superb craftsmanship on the top-notch finish :-)
I hope you get her together quickly, and dang, make a plug.

Best regards
Hank

I liked the western rescue theme. Hope it can be fixed.

Any update on this plane? did you rebuild? any other planes in the build?

I'll probably rebuild it around July, and go for another flight or swim in August :) -stef
