It was VERY COOL to watch you fly it out

Is that the pic of the "munched" slick? Doesn't look too bad to me except that getting parts would be an issue.

Yup, that was the only 51" I saw crashed

In flight, you can see the rudder hanging and the canopy missing. I think the prop shredded it.

The canopy ejected in a full-throttle Blender and took out the rudder counter balance. The elevator departed in a harrier tail-drag.
Fixable I'm sure. The canopy is in MULTIPLE pieces and the elevator joiner is broken right at the elevator half.

Send the parts to me... I'll fix it and fly it with pride

The broken joiner can be fixed pretty easy... I used a couple of hack saw blades to fix one on my 70". It was easy and not all that time consuming. The rudder should be able to just glue back together and look fairly decent. The canopy is really the only issue that presents a challenge. I'd be tempted to order a new canopy and just paint it. That slick deserves another shot at life!

Yeah I'm with Nate...a vintage plane like that...you should fix it.

Also, FYI, at the Knoxville FLI Noll was selling one last remaining yellow 51 Slick NIB for $200 as a garage sale item.
Not sure if he still has it or if it sold, but it might be worth asking about.

Well the 103 and 104 are packed up in trailer and ready to head out in te morning should meet Fred at Sikeston around 11 am looks to be a good day for flying

So... I munched my 51" Slick at the Ft Smith FLI. Very Sad, but it was kinda cool....

Now I'm torn. Do I replace it (or get a 48" plane) for those Don't-Wanna-Pack-A-Lot times or do I take this opportunity to start saving for a 50cc?

fix it, and start saving for a 50cc

Shoot, my 51 was broke in the same way and with a little wood I had it fixed and recovered in no time. and I stink at repairing planes lol.
