Hey mate don’t stuff around with tape you need to put an epoxy sleeve inside the wing connection. Mike pedigo did a video on it a few years ago. Basically sand inside of wing Sand fuse lightly if needed (might have tape goo all over it) Tape up areas where you want to keep clean I like to put a thin 1-2 mm strip of tape in the little indented lip right where the mast connection starts so it is flat for epoxy to release from Wax in first 2 screw holes top and bottom and flattened off with razor. Leave last screw hole 5 or so coats of mould release wax on fuse Apply epoxy about maybe 1cm and maybe 1mm thick up near top of connection not down the bottom on thin end on all surfaces. Can spread out evenly. Don’t use more for first try migjt get stuck Put on wing carefully and do up last screw to make sure it’s straight. Tighten. Clean up epoxy I only let it set for about 4 hours then I take it off. Usually gotta bash it with a mallet I’ll try track down the vid it’s really good.
