Seagull Ultimate 90 repair
Aircraft made pancake landing ripping off gear. Problem was, the gear was two-piece gear, creating a probable twist which broke the fuselage in half. With spare wood and covering, and a few days of work, this ARF was resurrect back into a stronger model. Luckily the damage was on the CG. Replacement cost from Hangar 9 for a new fuse and tail would have been $100!
