That's amazing that it would fly so well on one prop (when it was designed for two) that you didn't even really notice it! Congrats!

The model was designed to fly safely with glow (internal combustion) engines, which fail much more often than electric motors.

To deal with this situation, the model is designed with considerable outward thrust on both motors, which helps a lot in this type of situation.

Repair from the lost prop is almost done.

In the photo you can see where the hole was carefully filled with balsa, which was then sanded smooth, filled with filler and sanded, and then given one layer of fiberglass with water-based poly-urethane.

I'll paint it when it dries.
