What do you think, a little epoxy?

I cracked the fuse today. I don't think any of the balsa is broken, it looks like just foam, and still feels pretty ridgid.
It rolled over on a landing and caught a wing tip.
The crack goes from almost to the rear of the "canopy" straight down. And only on one side.

Sometimes these types of cracks are a little more difficult to repair as opposed to a complete break. I would recommend using THIN foam safe CA. Allow it to wick into the crack and then press it tight. Especially if it is only the foam. If there were more damage to the balsa, I might open it up a bit to allow me to fill the problem spots with epoxy.

Good luck,

I've done quite a few of those on my Edge - can confirm that wicking a little foam safe CA in there works a treat - for my part I open the crack slightly & then use gap filling (the thicker stuff) and then spray with kicker whilst I hold the crack tightly together.
