Default Broken Big Stik wing

Hi folks,

Just received my GP Stick 60 kit and was planning on working on it this week-end, but I noticed one of the wing holding tabs is broken. To send the plane back and get another one is 7-10 days, and I am debating whether I should just fix it. Normally I would fix a small thing like this and wouldn't even ask the question, but since the tab holds the wings in place I thought it would be a good idea to ask you experts. I was planning on putting epoxy in between the broken pieces and clamp it closed. I could also possibly fiberglass the area once the two wing halves are joined together.

The plywood looks rather light, so even if I get a new one I'd probably re-inforce it.

Your thoughts? Should I send this back and wait two weeks or fix it?
