This is my cap. I had a small problem with it and I wanted to know if you think I can rebuild it? It shouldn't be too hard to fix, I did pick up all of the pieces.
Just a little ca here and there, I might be able to spot in some new monocoat and have it ready for next week! Man, I am sick about it.

I am glad you mentioned that it was a Cap.
Would have been hard to tell from the remains.
And that poor engine, takes a good lick to break that crankcase.

Yep, rebuild it. Take the rudder and start building forward. :P

Well, it may take some time I guess. Do you think I could use JB Weld on the engine, or will it be easier to weld it?

Looks like that after the Cub crashed, a Chubacabra :evil: monster or something beat you to it and took a few bites out of wing. :|

I don't know. I have numbered all of the pieces, and started to CA the small stuff back together, I just might get it flying again. Time will tell.
I might JB Weld the crankcase together, but I am not sure if it will hold.

Should be fine. The CA will make the balsa stronger, right?

It was hard, but i finished up last night. Had to get a few things like the canopy and cowl and a new engine, but I put the rest back together!!!!
Do you like the new monocoat job?? :D
Believe me! I will do a better job of staying away from that tree next time!
