Had a little ruff landing yesterday, and it had to happen to my Top Cap also ! After bending the landing gear back, I took her up again, and there it was. THE FISH DANCE. Thought I definitely would loose her in the landing approach because I just couldn't control her right. Danced up and down, and from side to side. Once on the ground I immediately checked out the fuse behind the wing, and yep it was cracked just like described here. I think I will reinforce her to with some plywood. Billy, do you have some pics of yours ? Also, has anybody tried to recover the whole plane ?
Hope I have her back together for the October 19th.

I'm pretty sure I went overboard with this but I knew I would worry about it. It did add weight to the plane but she flies great now. I would go with a thin piece of wood. I opted for the stiff piece. I don't remember how thick but it was stout.
