Paul's Cougar-who said it could not be repaired?


Well us old modellers that were brought up on three shillings and nine pence Keil Kraft kits can fix most things made of balsa

  The Cougar was deemed beyond repair so here is a picture so far of the impossible taking place. Only an hour separates the photographs!

    I meant a 'Herd of Cows'!

    The fuselage does need reinforcement but at least all the broken parts went together to give the right shape. I will fit some internal thin ply to strengthen it and make sure the front bulkhead is well secured with Epoxy glue. The tailplane seemed to have been trampled on and some of the flattened strip balsa will need replacement and hence recovering part of it will be necessary, as is the case with the fuselage.

    More photos to follow before the official hand-over-wife not so impressed!
