Default CA or Epoxy ?

Gosh guys, I don't understand why I can't splice a LE stick. After all, the main spar is spliced right in the middle where bending is a maximum.

Here is another example...

My FunFly's wing was sheared off (got too close to a bird house), I spliced ALL the spars. That was a hundred flights ago. Maybe I've been lucky.

I have fixed lots of damage including spars. I don't add gobs of fiberglass either. Just try to imagine the strength of the original stick and make the patch just as strong. You don't want to make it stronger, just the same.
