Robert, thanks for the good words. The break is perfectly clean so, it should glue together nicely. I had already put a 1 mm carbon rod along the TE of the aileron and that kept the failure there down to a clean break near the proximal end.
I had wondered about the wisdom of extending the provided spar out to the wing floats. I knew that a strike on the wing float would put a good bending load on the wing, at spar's end... and it did. If someone follows my footsteps, I advise them to extend the wing spar out to the floats and to tie the float to the spar. Now, I'm debating the wisdom of buying a new NPS kit and making a new wing, versus adding more weight to this aircraft. |

I rejoined the pieces of the broken wing, adding to 7-inch long sub-spars made from 3mm Carbon tube.
It all looks good. She's flightworthy now, but can use some touch-up paint.
