A day later and the repairs are finished. The tail section isn't perfect, but it should fly without complaints. Much like 2x4's, it appears balsa thicknesses have changed over time, so I had to putty the seem where I replaced the broken leading fin. You can totally see the seam.
If it's less than straight in flight, replacing the tail fins with laser-cut plastic, and assembling with a custom fin jig will be the next step. We will see--this guy launches in less than a month!
