First rule of aviation: try to avoid hitting fixed objects, such as the Earth, with the airframe. Hope everyone is okay.

I've seen it coming into for a landing a few times over the years. Thrilling sight

Some duct tape (to hold in place the pieces that are moving and shouldn't), some WD-40 (for the pieces that are supposed to move and don't), and it's good as new!
