Last fall I lost my Hybrid when doing a flat dead spin. Needless to say damage was pretty bad. It was my favorite plane to fly so I decided to try and rebuild it. I located prints on my old build site on RCU and just received them in the mail. I will be doing a thread on my repairing of my Hybrid. Here are a few shots of some of the damage.

Well I made an order for my material. I know I forgot something. What........Got no idea yet. Anyway, plans are to completely build new fuse. Have nothing left except the nuts, bolts, and electrical parts. Figures my sheeting is on back order so till then after I get these parts is to copy off my plans the actual size of 1 side of the fuse and tape it together using wax paper. This will save me a little time later. Most of the guts on this model were made with your own imagination. I remember that. Important steps will be sure to cross brace everything. Side walls sheeting is calling for 1/16". :lol:

Hardwood trays were all saved so I won't have to make those up. So..........till them I'm Atta here :lol:

till I get my material. Talk to you soon.
As funflyerf4 said........yes there is some life on here....not to much....but some. (to freakn cold) So if you would like to put some in put, pleased do so :roll:

Rich,

Great to see your going to revive her. I have a ton of balsa flat sheeting, sticks, and solid pieces, let me know if you need anything and your more than welcome to have it.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing her fly in the Spring.

Thanks Blackbird. Well I did some work on the front firewall and landing gear areas. Maybe little later I'll some more, but for now I want the epoxy to get good and hard. Here's is what I've done.

I thank you.. Well I'm waiting on sheeting but I still get some stuff done. I redid the fire wall and base structures for the landing gear. Here is a few shots.

I started working on some of the frame work before that sheeting comes in. Here a few shots.

Little more progress today. Looks like I'll be waiting for that sheeting sometime next week. The fuse is close to completion. I will be working on my rear stabilizer doing some mending and then mounting it to the fuse next I suppose . Here is a shot of what I did today.
