Rebuilding my Wild Hare
Everyone said “don’t bother.... just buy a new one”. Well first off, they don’t make them anymore, and secondly being glutton for punishment I said I’ll rebuild it. So here’s what I’ve done so far. Keep in mind the whole front was missing and I had no parts to go by. seems to be coming along fairly well so far. If anyone is interested, I’ll continue to post pictures

Nice work cotman007. I did the same thing with a 37.5 TOC Yak that is no longer in production but is one of the best flying/looking planes I have ever owned imo. Hate to see guys just chuck a damaged airframe that is totally rebuildable/fixable with a little time and effort. Some of the best flying planes I ever had came out of a garbage can! I'm interested in your final results! Very rewarding when your done. Keep the pics coming.

Did a little more. Got the gear plate done and the aluminum plates installed. Hopefully it will make it a bit stronger.

It's Gorilla glue. It's great for filling gaps in my slippy work. After looking at my landing gear block, I decided to put more reinforcement in thus the extra peice of akumunum. Landing gear mounted today and all seems good so far. Hope the damn things flys after all this
