I've had a sport scale Harvard for a number of years,
that was scaled up from a Veron rubber-power kit. It first had
an unmuffled OS 10 that gave a realistic sound, then I
installed and Eflight E370.
The over-light construction caught up with it, and a wing
broke off in flight.
The dirt crusted parts at the crash site were put into the
wreckage bin, then after a few days I looked closer,
and it didn't seem so bad, after repair experience with free flight models.

Generally, I have found that starting repairs on a wreck right away
keeps you from giving up completely.
