Default RE: repair question

It looks like you have some overlap on both sides, so there should be enough material there. The only issue is that you're relying on the balsa on the outside for strength, so I'd put a 1 inch wide ply doubler on the inside so you have a continuous plywood structure. If you woodpecker it and use slow cure epoxy it'll be the strongest part of the whole airplane after that.
