Thanks Mark...and ummmm Sandy I think Wink

I kind of enjoy it in one sense, but it takes me a long time to do stuff. Don't have the right tools for some and unsure of what I am doing with other things. Although, I am leaving the stuff like the motor box for the "xspurts" to do with me. I have an idea, but am not thrilled with the idea of having a 30cc with a 19" prop flying at me when I first start it. Cheesy

The wing is a whole other issue. Have not even really looked at that yet. Saving that until I have the fuse sorted out.

I started to "try" to repair the motor box last night...that was a mistake. Angry

I did however repair the remaining severed formers. I will sand those off tonight and sand the side of the fuse. I think I am just going to fill the small depressions in the fuse with spackle to smooth them out.

Planning to have a look at the wing on the weekend. Not sure what I may be able to tackle on that.

Okay...so the fuse is now puttied up and seems solid once again. I will sand it tomorrow night and apply more putty if needed.

After that I tackled the horizontal stab that appeared to be weakened. I managed to peel back the covering without harming it. (Love Untracote)

There was indeed a cracked and stressed point right near the counter weighted area. Repaired, and made sturdy with CA and contest balsa. I would say less than a gram added and very strong.

Tomorrow, I will have a look at the wing. Not looking forward to that one. I suspect it will be a little more complicated. Huh

Not art, but close enough for rock'n'roll.

What I discovered inside, is a little beyond my repair skill. Al, your up I once again would like to thank DLE for their part in this repair, and of course for the rock hard CA fingertips.

Will not be ready for the weekend sadly. I am headed to Ontario the following weekend for two weeks. Hope to get it finished when I return. In the interim, I have resumed my previous hobby of BBQing and drinking.
