I know this isn't the crash and rebuild part of the forum but since some of you have already rebuilt this section of the plane I thought I might ask anyway.

I already used 5 minute epoxy to glue some of the plywood under where the landing gear connects to the fuse. One piece seems to be missing though. Is it ok to use balsa in place of this little section? See the upper right hand corner of pictures two and three.

I also had to break more of the underneath of the plane to access this area and am trying to glue it back like a puzzle.

Thanks for any help.

Wow I don't know why these pictures uploaded so big.
