Fuselage repair

Post by Ian Hoolahan » Wed Aug 18, 2021 12:10 pm

The undercarriage collapsed on our Ma5 Charger, we have advertised it as a project but ideally would like to get it back flying ourselves, most of it we can sort but the fuselage repair is a bit beyond our capability- needs both bottom longerons repairing and where this is needed there are two clusters where a number of tubes weld together, it could also do with a better undercarriage system than before as we have since found this is a known weak point in the design. Is there anyone here that might be interested in sorting the fuselage for a reasonable fee?
