Default fiberglass repair?

When attempting to modify my battery tray (and suffering from dehydration) I mistakenly cut through the outer skin of the fuselage.

The damage is approx 2" x 1/32nd".

Is this structural or cosmetic?


Definitely structural. Major. Pretty bad spot for such a damage.

How would the fiberglass guru's here repair the damage?


A proper repair is going to require about one square ft of multilayer
skin replacement and some practice.

Get the glider into a repair shop if you haven't done such a major
repair yet.


Best of luck
