Default Should I re-do my Avistar wing?

Yes, the rod was bent and poked through the sheeting after cracking some ribs. But I cut power immediately and was able to land. The old rod I still have if you want a picture of it.

One thing I forgot to mention was that the wing lifted off the fuse, and that caused it to bend. The rubber bands were not strong enough to hold it on to the fuse with so much load. I was also using a .46 engine which the Select is not really designed for.
