Default Canard Stabilizer Failure!

I didn't remember the fiberglass. I will have to go look at it again.

I wouldn't glass the center. Maybe run 3 strips of 1 inch fillament tape lengthwise on it to allow it to flex, but not break. I have done that on many wings and they can flex like crazy and not break.

I just got a new set of plans for that plane. I will look at it again tonight. I didn't remember there being glass in the middle when I said that.

did it break inside or outside the fuse?
