Wow... John Hayes rebulids the Alpha Sport 450 wing

 

This was the state of my Apha Sport 450 wing after my controlled flight into a line of trees that proved closer than advertised. The right wing leading edge had a fractured as martial loss not as impressive but seious as well. Repairing this requires skills far beyond mine, yet I was loath to abandon what is my first true rc aircraft.

On a whim I approached John Hayes, a friend from SNHRCC. I knew he is a master builder, and I felt if there was any hope,i t would be him. He agreed, and a couple of days ago I dropped it off (and experienced the wonderland that is his workshop for the first and I hope not last time). Two. Days. Ago.

He sent me these pics today:

The right wing.  Can't even tell where the damage was.

This is the repaired left wing. Are you kidding me? Its literally new. This is a rare level of skill.

He will cote them and let me know when to come-back it up. I just can't wrap my head around how well this repair has come out. I am just so impressed by John's skills as a builder, just so please with the outcome here.

Thank you, John. You are giving me my baby back.

Sadly, like many good things, no longer produced.
