The fuselage was damaged pretty badly, but I decided it would be easer to repair it than buy a new one. The first step was to re-glue the bottom balsa part of the fuselage back on to the fuselage with epoxy. Next I cut part of the balsa bottom away on one side to gain access to the side of the fuselage to repair the stringer that is under the balsa bottom. I made a new stringer, glued it in place and then pulled the fuselage side down and glued it in place on the stringer.
