For $100 why waste a few hours trying to rebuild? Especially when it will not be as light and balanced after repairs. That's why everyone participated in the end of season trash can crash contest.

I alway built my planes super light, liked to say I built them to fly, not to crash.
First step was to sand all the wood down to 1/2 thickness.
Then applied ultrathin CA into the grain ends. It would wick all the way through the wood. I made composite pieces stronger and lighter than the original wood. My 5 lb plane kits typical only weighed 4 lbs. and flew fantastically better.

Took me much longer to learn to fly helicopters because they were battery powered. Used 3 batteries so basically got 3 flights, then had to wait for the batteries to recharge. And you HAVE to put LiPo batteries on a charger and keep them charged up or they die.
