I used to fly a lot, but since we moved to Texas I have not flown. So it has been about 10 years that my planes sat in the shed. A guy at work flies them and got me to dig mine out. He gave me a engine because mine was locked up. Took forever to get the engine running right. So today I took of for the first time. Well storage was not good for the plane, the aileron flew off after about 45 seconds in the air. That caused all kinds of damage. The wing has a huge hole in it, the fuselage is cracked only the skin is holding it together. It is broken in many places, but I did manage to land it safely. So I saved the engine and radio gear, now to buy a new one.
Here is where the fuselage is cracked.
