Fiberglass and resin...

yeah. That's what I did. I really did not want to do it though lol. Was trying to see if there was another way.

Its made out of fiberglass, what else do you think you can use to fix it? How bout this, buy another wing...

I don't really know. I was just super sad and mad and emotionally turmoil-ed. Made this thread out of grief hahaha.

Must admit, was truly a bitch moment of mine.

use putty with fiberglass fibers in it ( i think its called kitty hair over there)... depending on how big the missing chunk is , you might need something to support it. anyway its gonna be a bitch to sand so you d better have a rotary sander or a ton of patience (or a dremel tool with 80grit disc) , and then you will use a thinner polyester putty for detail. then primer, sand again, paint. that's a lot of materials for such a small damage, costing around 20-30 bucks, so unless you have them lying around, take a dremel and shape the cut as if someone bit it off , that will make a conversation starter.
