Thomas made a good job of repairing the wing. I have added some filler to smooth it out What Wally chose green and white it's very hard to see even with the white stripes

Construction
The wing and fuselage are moulded, the tail is balsa sheet. Servos are taped to strip of plywood, which slides under the wing seat

Flying
With an all up weight of 19 oz it wants a strong man to throw it, but it does go up the bungee very fast. It will stay up better than the average floater and will penetrate a lot better. The Mnij is very easy to fly and will recover from a stall quickly, the glide angle is flat will turn very tight even at slow speeds.

Conclusion
I like the Mininch better, it fly flies faster and has a faster roll rate. I like the strength it is very tough. The Mininch wing fits the fuz, but I would like both models.
My Merlinch is a little heavier and is not as easy to fly, but is very fast in light lift.

Dave Payne's Mininch at Frocester. the same fuz but with a MH22 wing section and a smaller cord
