Default Viper! Near krasch!

Hi!
Was out today again flying my year old Viper powered by a Nelson LS engine.
After the second flight I took it up and cleaned it and noticed a long crack along side the left fuselage side, 1cm from the leading edge of the V-stab.

Took it home and began taking the fuselage apart and noticed that the rear part of the fuselage, in front of the stab had no support at all.
Luckily I had covered the fuselage with 25g glass fiber / laminating epoxy, but this was still not enough...
I was lucky this time!
I will send more pictures how I fixed it later.
