Default RE: Airplane repair and flying tips.

best way i find is:

cut back to the fresh wood (free from cracks and fractures) and cut a new piece of wood to fit into the gap

i.e. your photo, i would cut off the fractured wood in the rear end and replace it with wood of the same thickness, epoxy the tail back on and re-apply some of the covering

ive had to epoxy the tail onto my trainer countless times
