Hi Gee Bee fans,
I have resumed work on my CARF R2. It resides on it's own worktable and has been there for two years.

n8622t,
You did not by chance weigh the major components before and after painting,did you?
I would guess that the painter sanded most of the old paint off before painting.

Looks like a bit more than a "hard landing"!
I see one blade of the prop broken,My guess is he may have had to try a deadstick landing,or a similar scenario.

Be aware that your repairs will add weight so far back that you will need to check C,G, when complete.A few grams in the tail will have big effect up front.

Or, you could do like "Rickster" and hang a 3w 170 on the nose!!
I doubt that his will need much nose ballast !!
Thrust is good.
