One of my good flying buddies crashed his J-10 and had it in the back of his trailer in a trash bag, I peeked in the bag and said "I think I can fix that' he immediately started laughing (he may tell you why). Anyway I got the J-10 on the workbench and started checking to see if all the pieces were there...they were, every single crumb :)

I laughed because that was exactly what I told the guys who were with me when it crashed you would say. ;)I knew if anybody could make that thing fly again it would be you and you would welcome the challenge. I misjudged my altitude on a low high speed pass and it caught the grass just off the edge of the runway and disintegrated. It was spectacular. I will definitely be following your progress Dr. Frankenstein. :) -

Excellent progress! Thanks for introducing me to the wonders of Foam-Tac. I have ordered some for myself but you might need about a gallon for that. :Cool:Comment

Tackle the J-10 but give up on this one??? :Confused:Warbird Charlie

I have the paint colors I used on that if you are interested in those as well. Would make the replacement wing look better too. ;)Comment

Amazing work, TI!Comment

I got to see in person today what TI has done with this and I was amazed. It is almost perfectly straight and the seams do not look bad at all. Considering the condition it was in when I gave it to him I am very confident it will actually fly again. Very nice foam-smithing TI!Comment
