fuselage damage: 2017-03-14 Panasonic DMC-FT1
Split in fuselage skin, caused when the flap actuating tube caught on something immovable while rolling fuselage out of garage. The fuselage with the engine mounted is getting quite heavy to roll and has considerable momentum once moving. The polyethylene sheet over the cockpit opening obscured my view on this occasion and so I didn't quite get the flap tube clear of obstructions.

With the flap tube retracted, 2 splits in the fuselage skin can be seen.

On the inside, the damage is not so severe - the flox edge and skin is crushed locally but the skin has not split as on the outside. No flash used for this shot.
