Seven days ago...  Logged over an hour in the air today.  Epoxy, two pieces of tape, a firewall, a propeller, and a cowl. |

That's a nice neat repair job.
When mending a complete fuselage break, it can be difficult getting the two pieces together in a perfect line - but you appear to have accomplished it.
Best wishes for softer landings in the future!

Great job on the repair! I had to replace my fuselage when that happened to me.

Thanks guys. I applied a generous dose of epoxy. When I mashed the two pieces together my wife laid down two pieces of packing tape...one on either side to hold it together. The tape is still there because it will remove the "tinted window" look if I pull it off. This happened in a poorly executed loop. A lesson to others. Move your push rods on the control horn to the closer holes for better control when executing loops...that or start UP HIGH!! I flew 40 minutes today.
