Repairs came out pretty well. Most of the crack seams lined up very well and are not noticeable from a distance. There is a long crack visible on the fuselage but overall I'm happy with it. Not sure how the left wing will perform. The structure is sound but the end of the wing is angled down. May need to compensate with a turn or two of the elevator. New motor shaft is on order but the prop adapter is on back order.

It is a great plane Graham. I just finished replacing the motor shaft and assembling the motor and ESC. Charging up the battery then I'll power it up and see if all the electronics are OK. The servos seem OK but I'm not a big fan of manually stroking metal gear servos. So power up will tell for sure. If all goes well I'll go see how she flies. Moving to Chicago next weekend so I won't have much flying time for a while.
