Field Work On The 'Crashtastic'

Hey! Not many of you know this, but I do model airplanes and rockets. I thought I'd share some of my recon adventures, starting with the 'Crashtastic'.

 

The Crashtastic is a Spitfire model. This was my first 3-axis plane so I crashed. A lot. Here's the recent repair, like a true Brit.

The engine was knocked loose after many crashes.

The wing fell apart. This one was fixed soon after the crash but it needs constant maintenance.

The chipped tail. This is the most recent and, the Crashtastic hasn't been flown since.

The rudder from an ironically broken trainer plane. I cut it up to fit the Crashtastic.

We meet again, inside. Used some tape and glue to fix the engine back in place.

Well, it's certainly...unique. All done. Should be able to fly tomorrow, weather permitting.
