Disaster!

So I was out flying the rubber powered Mustang...

A throw at an angle and a gust of unexpected wind and a nose dive did a number on it.

I think I am going to try to fix it and leave as much of the original balsa as possible. I'll let y'all know how it goes if anyone is interested.

I repaired the stringers and repaired the former and reinforced it. That isn;t seem though in this pic:

I'll take it back out when the weather is calm for more flights.
