Default When does weight or wrinkles from repairs matter?

Hello - I have an E Flite Conscendo Evolution, a 1.5 meter motor glider with a motor that delivers a lot of power especially on 4s batteries. I am wondering if minor increases in weight such as extra tape to repair rudder hinge damage would ever be noticed in such a plane. Also, if I ever needed to glue repairs and there were still cracks in the exterior of the fuselage, or minor wrinkles from repair tape, I wonder if that would ever be noticeable. I assume that it would not unless I were racing and even then it might matter, but I wonder if I would be surprised.

Thanks,

-Tom
