Wing’s Home
We went out to the field today on the chance that Ernesto had blown down the wing from Mr. E’s Senior, and were pleasantly surprised to find that indeed it had! The 4 servos survived, even though he had to replace a couple of wires and dry one of the servos out, plus get rid of a colony of ants that’d already (!) established itself inside. Oh, yeah, he had to empty some water out of it, too.
Even more of a pleasant surprise was that it was in far better shape than he’d expected from what it looked like up in the tree. If it dries un-warped, it’ll be repairable, along with the fuse, so he’ll have gotten the whole plane back and (with a lot of work) flyable again!
