Default Re: hanger 9 corsair 60 arf kit with retracts?

I put a new wing on one for a hobby shop owner in Houston. I put all the hardware from the old one over to the new wing. It seems the previous owner tried to stretch a glide and strained it through a fence. When I was digging all the old hardware out of it, you could see some balsa spars and ply shear webs in it. Looked lightly built but should have been okay for all flight situations except running it through a barbed-wire fence!
