This is exactly what happened with my BS 60. I called towerhobbies and they sent me a replacement wing set. I didn't even need to send in the old wing.

I'd imagine you could fix it yourself. Just juse lots of epoxy.
I would have done that if they'd send me a wing kit, but they wanted the entire plane back. I even suggested to send just the wings back for a replacement wing set but they wouldn't agree - which I understand since they probably need to send the plane back to the manufacturer to get their warranty money back.

I wasn't in the mood to wait a week or two so I am fixing it. Not a big deal though, if anything, it highlighted the need to re-inforce that area.
Another guy at our club ordered a BS60 and the same thing happened to him. When he called Tower, they wanted him to send in just the wing. I think it depends on who you speak to on any given day regarding what they'll do to remedy the issue for you.
