Default Wow... Broken plane, but no crashs

Well, I took out my Slow Stick for its first real flight at the local schoolyard. This plane is awsome! Power is decent, 4 foot turning radius, and great wind tollerance! I went ahead and tried a couple loops... ok, a lot of loops. The wing dihedral came out to be 15 degrees more. It cracked along one side of the center folding section. I bought some 5-min epoxy and will repair it. I also bought some bamboo BBQ sticks to reinforce the tail section, but how could I prevent the main wing from folding again? Should I use a bamboo stick to span across the center of the wing? What other things have people done?
