This is what the Grim Reaper looked like the last time I flew it. I think a propeller hit the ESC, I lost power after a combat hit and made a gentle dead stick landing. it started smoking as I was walking up to the plane. Yeah, I thought I was gonna retire it but it never found it's way to the trash.
I chopped out all the burned up section and pulled off all the laminate, extreme tape and packing tape.
Glued the two pieces of wing I had left together.
Fixed a whole lot of holes from prop strikes including a big one that was all the way through the wing (gorilla glue mixed with water).
Extreme taped and laminated the wing, remounted the motor ( the only piece of electrics that was reusable). Cut down the elevons. and rehinged 'em.
