I folded my Avistar wing (after months of flying with no apparent problems). Wing broke cleanly in the middle. My construction joint did not break--one of the end panels assembled by the manufacturer separated. And of course the wing joiner broke.

Question is, when I rebuild do I need the wing joiner? It is impossible to remove the original one that broke. My plan is to clean up the area where the wing broke, epoxy it, then fiberglass it--about 4 inches--enough to have the glass ride on the wing saddle of the fuse. If I do this, can I ignore the "wing joiner"? And, as someone has already asked will Monokote go back down on the glass? (I've already peeled it back to apply the glass).

Thanks
