Had a little incident with my extra yesterday... I got a little to low on the down line of a rolling loop and caught a 15' high brush. The bush tore off my the counter balance and half of the left elevator and sent it straight to the ground. Broken cowl, a little former damage, and broken elevator.
The elevator was to splintered to glue back on, so I was lucky I had a old elevator that was broken at the joiner. I cleaned up the broken elevator half on plane and cut the elevator half down to what i needed. Joined up and recovered. Strong as new. All that I need to do now is paint a red cowl I have from my original red Extra. I also started a cowl repair on the damaged one to get a little practice. Worst case scenario I need to order a new cowl if the paint doesn't turn out.

Nice repair Bryan! Being able to fix little dings like that is what gives the confidence to go low!

Thanks guys... I was fortunate to have a elevator on hand or I would be out a plane until a new elevator game in.
