You got that bit right.

Some 40 odd years ago as a youth in my first competition (in which Ralph
was flying) I managed to hole the wing of an Oly 460 with a rock in an out
landing.

Ralph had us take it to his workshop and it was back flying after only
missing a day for the price of a couple of pints.
