Well, the inevitable came to pass! Biff-o-matic landing resulted in the low-level cartwheel manuever with predictable results.

Photos of the carnage attached. My repair skills are non existent. How should I proceed with making repairs that will be durable? The fuse sides are lite ply laminated to a balsa fuse doubler on the inside. The areas where I have to edge join the fuse side, I thought I would hold together with tape/elastics, then wick in some thin CA. Then I thought I'd laminate some balsa on the inside of the joints with 30 minute epoxy. I'm not so sure of how to fix the spot where the wing bolt plate tore away from the fuse sides. The glue joint held, but it looks as though the lite ply de-laminated where the wing bolt plate was glues to it. I was thinking of CA'ing this all back together and then reinforcing it with some FG.

Anyone have any tips for me?

Thanks!
