analog_boy · 04-30-2006, 06:48 PM

well heres the initial carnage.

analog_boy · 04-30-2006, 06:50 PM

Once i peeled off the covering it fell apart in my hands

But what can i expect from a 6lbs plane this big

analog_boy · 04-30-2006, 06:51 PM

next i hacked off the fairing

this is like castrating the katana.

analog_boy · 04-30-2006, 06:54 PM

whoops heres the pics

analog_boy · 04-30-2006, 06:59 PM

now to start on the fixing. First i replaced the broken structure. Then i doubles up the sheeting where it cracked. normally i would totally replace the sheeting but i plan to fiberglass it on the other side.

analog_boy · 04-30-2006, 07:00 PM

Thats whhere i left off. I plan to fiberglass tonight. Should be flying by next weekend for sure
