Is there a shear web in the Quickie canard wing? If so, it will be more
difficult to attempt to repair that one.
You should be able to repair it but just remember that your life is on the
line. Do not try to cut corners in this endeavor! The normal 2' overlap
repair would not qualify in this case if it were mine.
