Default RE: KMP Stuka-build details

well after 28 flights i went to refuel again but due to a stuck fuellor valve had to turn the plane upside down and guess what? Yes thats right a crack threw the centre section[just luck i had to tip it over]Supplier waiting on wing so instead of waiting i decided to repair.First i gut away the glass covering to open up the bat to find the brace is 1/8 lite ply with lightning holes everwhere no wondor it broke.First i made up 6 mm brace from gull wing attachment boxes [like a normal dihedral brace]clamped in place then reglued original crace and packed it out with 1/4 balsa. Reskinned with 1.5 balsa and glassed over this.After a repaint have flown it again no trim changes and flyes just the same , just chack ater every flight for any cracking!
