Cub Hanger Rash ... 30 minute fix
(click photos to enlarge)

Broken Spar (3 breaks) & Torn Covering.  Step 1:  Glue the spar back together,  then position it and glue
it into correct position.  Mate solid pieces to the inside & bottom of original spar for strength....
clamp & let CA dry as you get the covering you need from your roll.
Step 2:  Cut away damaged covering to the next hard attachment
point & sand the replaced wood smooth.
Step 3:  Cut a piece
of new covering and tack
it into place.
Step 4:  Pull the covering to the bottom, tack it with heating iron.  Finish trimming all the edges & set
them all into place using a heating iron.  Go over it all with a heat gun to smooth out the covering for a
nice, matching finish.
   

The total time for this fix was under 30 minutes.
