Default how to fix foam wing

So i got out at lunch today to fly my new foam airplanes. Wind was 8mph gust to 13mph. I say to my self, oh it is just a little wind how bad could it be. I put battery in the champ, takeoff and fly around and manage to land without crashing. Put another battery in and make another good flight. go to put the plane back in the box and didn't notice a styrofoam block in the way when i put the plane back in the box and pop, crack the wing. I think to myself dang it. What did I do that for? So, how do you repair a foam wing?

Clear, wide packing tape should work.  You may want to lightly apply a little epoxy at the joint.
