broken tail
 

I had a pretty hard landing this last weekend. It was my first time at the field with no help. When I landed my plane the second time the fin/rudder broke off. There is a little glue and wood on the elevator. Should I sand everything smooth and then glue it back on or should I replace the bottom spar?

You could probably just stick it back on with medium CA.

that's the first thing I would try.

I agree with Minn, almost. I'd use epoxy.

I agree with minnflyer med ca just make sure its straight . I just did the same thing to my areomaster just glued it back on ironed the covering back down gave it the hang test it looks a little ruff but it will fly for the rest of the season and than we will give it new clothes this winter
