I'm enjoying the replies, everyone is having fun with this which is awesome.
I really didn't think that plane was going to dislodge and fall to the ground ever, hence the rocks. My core is still sore today from all the throwing I did. I can't ever remember that happening.
So the tail feather are in really bad shape, the pictures don't really show what is going on under the surface. A lot of paper delamination, cracks in the foam under paper and the hinges were junk. I was trying to repair it, but decided I'd never be happy with the control surfaces........ So I removed the complete elevator and vertical stabilizer, building new ones from scratch.
A tip I just learned doing this (other may already know), an iron works great for removing damage glued components. I ripped the foam from the paper (elevator/vert stab.), the paper is glued to the fuse. I then place the iron on the paper over the glued sections and easily pull the paper free.
The Scout 2.0 had 68 flights, and 2 crashes (both from taking off on a curbed street), plus 2 tree encounters.
As far as toughness, it can't compare to the Sportster, now that's a tough plane!
