Bixler Post Crash Test Flight

Prof. Iadevaia rebuilds the Bixler which crashed due to a wing failure. Although another plane is on order it was a good opportunity to take advantage of foam and its repairablity. The crushed nose was heated with a low setting heat gun and twisted back into shape. The crash compressed the nose by about 1/4 inch. The crushed plastic spar was replaced with an aluminum tube of the same length and diameter. This was the second flight but the first to be recorded from the "eyeglass cam". The plane seems to be OK and flys very nicely.
