Yes Awesome pictures!! Will she possibly be ready to fly at PB this year?
Most of us are working on the Proton project and that will be our main effort between now and November. Also with the number of motors in the Proton, that consumes most of my PB motor budget!
Do tell! Time to start the build thread!
...they showed the crushed front-end in a quick shot and I was glad they didn't show the flight. That was one beautiful bird and I hope the rebuild goes well.
Thanks Mikus!
The damage really was confined to the e-bay for the most part. The rebuild will be fairly easy. Here's a list of what will need to be repaired:
Remove and replace crushed e-bay.
Remove and replace 6" of airframe in front of the wing strakes
Remove and replace paper tubes from wing pods
Remove and replace ablative top fin probes
Fiberglass small crack on top of airframe
Spot paint and selectively replace stickers
It makes you feel good when you know your construction techniques and materials can survive a 4000 foot fall and barely get scratched! It also makes you feel good knowing that Stickershock23.com has a free crash replacement policy on their work!
Todd, I am glad you can fix her. she was BEAUTIFUL.
I do give a crash protection warranty on ALL my decals. BUT replacements aren't FREE. I do them for 1/2 price. but that is still better than paying full price any day!
