The good parts separated and filed in a plastic tub.
Fuselage frame being discarded, new sides traced.
Progress.

Repairing the wingtip.  It had a break at the end of the aileron. 
Used the same process- 5 minute epoxy, waxed paper, straight edge on bot sides, clamps. Photos 07 and 08.

Put the same covering back in place. Photos 09, 11, 13.  The missing areas will be covered when the other wing half is at the covering stage.  That wing will have to be fibreglassed and a whole new section of covering will be needed.  The cutoffs will handle the minor damage on the first wing half.

Mark,

re: the wood on the wings:
- the wings came covered with the wood.  I just had to join them, add the ailerons and cover them
- It is much stronger than balsa and it does not dent easily.  It is a wonderful wood for the purpose.
- I had to Google the name to see how to spell it.  I always thought it was obechi but then what do I know.

Live and learn.

ps: it was the same wood as on my Flamingo glider in the Hafu video. The drone filming the flight crashed into the wing (pancacked) and it did not fail.  The dent is minor but visible.  If it were a balsa covered wing it would have dented significantly or failed.

For my next project I decided to rebuild/repair the fuselage.
The existing fuselage was constructed using birch wood that splits easily along the grain.
Also, adhesion of the glue was not optimal, perhaps due to the use of CA.
The fuse will be shorten (ever so slightly) to reduce tail heaviness.
The wing and tail are solid and will be re-used.
Other parts that will be re-used include: landing gear and wheels, firewall, wing mounting plates, tail skid, pull/pull rudder control cables, just to name a few.
Once unusable parts are discarded, and suitable wood acquired, the build will start.
   

Obeshi Wood?
Was that the way wing came or your choice?
Is it used because it is similar to basswood?

Repairing the wing:

This is a white foam wing core sheeted with obeshi wood and then covered in film.
Looks like it torqued the wing when crashed. It caused a 1' split and a 6" split further towards the tip.

Did the 12" split first:
- Squeezed 5 minute epoxy into the foam
- put epoxy onto the edges of the wood
- covered the split with waxed paper so the squeezed out epoxy will not attach to the straight edges.
- used two straight edges, one on top and one on the bottom of the wing
- used as many mini clamps as I could find on my desk.  Death by 1000 clamps.
Let it dry overnight.

That is great!  Planes in and out of the house, right into the back of the car without going outside!

Looks great!

I'm sorry if this post offends sensibilities.  I wanted to show some work that Peter Palumbo did.  My house has, alas, a single car garage and no inside access to the garage.  Having a double car garage means you can put all your crap in the 2nd spot.  I couldn't do anything about the space, but a little hallway inside was, I felt, the perfect size and spot for an inside garage door.  And Peter went to work.

Here's one of the cool parts.  One of my floor plans shows a door!  When Peter started investigating, he kept poking and pulling little bits here and there.  He kept finding 2x4's and 2x6's where there really shouldn't be.  Then he texts me to come see what he's found.  I thought it was either gold or a body.  It was framing for a door!!  The exact size for a 32" door.  I'm guessing the builder put a door in every house... and if the buyer wanted it, and there were room for stairs... fine... otherwise it gets covered.

I now have a beautiful inside garage steel door with stairs that don't creak.  And storage under the stairs.  Thank you, Peter... it's perfect!  No trekking outside to the garage for me this winter!  And just to be clear... I did the painting... otherwise it would look good.

Thanks for your kind words gents
