Ouch! Sorry about that........ Look at it this way: If you grind up what's left and glue all the itty-bitty pieces ya got down over some Carden plans, think of the new and improved plane you'll be flying by next week! What a deal, huh?

Crashes are always a shame, but thank goodness most end up repairable. I always get a kick out of non rc people who say things like "It's made of balsa wood, isn't that weak and ends up in a bunch of pieces?" LOL. It is amazing how strong balsa really can be and how easy to work with. I love balsa trees and I hope we never run out of them!

Hope the repair works out well and hope you post a pic of the finished product. Good luck with future flights and stay 3 mistakes high.
