Somehow in the suicide mid-air, (when you fly towards each other, which we try not to do as this just breaks your airie), Brads elevator broke in two. This is an easy repair. Push two or three wooden squewers down the flutes. No hot glue required.
5 min repair!!
Below however, takes a little more effort.
Damage....
Below. Start by cutting all or most of the damage away.
Dont be shy!! Cut it away. Then add tabs for support to the patch.

Fortunately the spar did not break. Had it broken, just splint it with some off-cut 3mm ply both sides. Or if you are still at the slope, use some 5min epoxy and two sucker sticks :-)
Add patch and finish with some vynil.
As good as new!!

Amazing how easy the damage can be repaired.
