Alright...got to thinking and thought Why not...I liked my GWS so much even though it had its tipstall flaws but I really enjoyed it...especially the last 2 days of its existance. So...I found some plans and took some blue foam & airbrush and Whala....
The Stickers are from my old GWS kit.

This is one that I made for my son (purple)...took about 20 minutes...the little blue is a metal one that I got from Walmart for him to match my GWS Corsair way back when :(

How does it fly?

Different... not like your normal foamie. Johnny liked the way it flew. I think I do have a little too much angle in the wings. With the trottle at zero... It doesnt want to respond to aileron inputs...therefore you have to put a little motor wind past them to get it to respond. Rudder and Elevator work fine. The wing could also be stiffer. Anybody got any ideas on how to stiffen a broken wing like that. I put on CF spar across the top(as you see in the bottom pic) and 2 across the bottom angle(you cant see those).
Im no professional or anything... but I think if I could stifen the wing and make it lighter...It would be awesome. The angle is real easy to adjust on another wing... just dont let the glue dry with so much angle. If I had exact angles...it would be awesome.. they are probably in the plans but I havent looked.

You might could stiffen the wings with some flying cables (fishing line so not visiable). Not sure, that was my first thought when I saw the pics, "This is cool, but how do you give the broken wing strenght?"
Nice job Bart !!!
