first solo today [8D] but just for confidence still had the buddy box on. on the third solo started to tip and the wing hit the ground and rolled it. easy fix on the rudder, again. but one of the sides of the 'cowl' (which is just a covered wood on either side of the engine) broke and is now held in place just by the covering. now i dont think it is a very crucial peice and it would work fine is I broke of the other side too. so should I bother peeling back the covering and fixing it or leave it as is held on by the covering or take it off?

sorry that was a mouth full and may have been confusing but thanks for the help in advance!

I think i already know the answer....
