Status: offline 		today i banged up my comp arf 2.3 extra and would like some guidance on how to repair it. i cracked the fuse and i plan on using c/f fabric tape from the inside but not sure the weight or where i can get it. i guess i'll apply it with epoxy but i'm also open to suggestions with regards to that as well. i am no stranger to building but this is my fist attempt at repairing a composite plane. i have aeropoxy and love the way it adhears to the composite fuse, but it may be too thixotropic, not sure. aslo what is the best way to fill the cracks from the outside that will be sandable and strong? i appriciate any guidance.

A little more involved than your repair but the principle is fully explained. You will have to log in as a guest.
