Tape the gap and some flying wires may be in order.

And shoot some thick CA in there if you don't like it.

May want to get that prop off it. That is a slow flying plane with what looks like a fast flying prop.
already have changed the prob, that´s an old picture, but what do you mean by 'taping the gap' or flying wires I´m not quite following. I´ve though about reinforcing it with a small wooden block

You need to change your thought process with this plane..
it´s quite flexible but I fear that it might break in high speed,
This is a SLOW flight HIGHLY manuverable plane that is meant to NEVER see high speed flight.

The only time you should use high power is in straight up flight only.
oh.... well that´s good then, that means I don´t have to change a thing. But the .46 engine has about a 2-3:1 power to weight ratio (atleast I think so, my methoods aren´t quite accurate) so it´s quite a lot of power
