Reconstruction of the Stinger EDF, after its ultimate smash, has begun with the wings and tail being removed from the buckled fuselage in preparation for being transferred onto the smart new fuselage I've got for it.
I have managed to reconstruct the fuselage before but, having been smashed again, I didn't think that I'd be able to get it straight again. The wings were slightly dented in the mid section from the impact, but a little hot water got that straightened out easily enough.
I've also bought a replacement EDF fan, the stock units that comes in the Stinger, but the big news is I've upgraded batteries from the previous Zippy 1800 4S 40C to a 2200 4S 45-90 Nanotech pack. Now I'm not sure exactly what difference this will make, but Nano's I've used previously, especially the 45-90 variety, pack extra punch and the larger capacity should help with slightly longer flight times.
So I'm looking forward to getting the Stinger looking smart, ready for a double-test flight; reconstruction and more power...
