Gladiator Repair Suggestions?

[PunkRocketScience]

Hey gang-

As discussed in an earlier thread, https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11918 , my 3" PE gladiator had a motor failure of some sort. Now it has become time to repair or scrap the little bugger. I have attached on a photo of the damage. Normally I would just splice on a new chunk of airframe, but the is no room to stick a coupler in since there is practically no tube between the top of the fins and the bottom of the nose cone.

Any suggestions? I really love the design of this kit and would hate to scrap it after only a single cato'd flight.

I always forget to hit the silly attach button...

The second example of Dale Emery's Iris should be the perfect fix for you.

Excellent suggestion, Dan! Thank you for the referance. Whereas I read through Info Central extensively when I started into high power, I often forget to look there for answers now.
