Had my first flight yesterday on my new hobbyzone delta ray and as expected had a crash, think I clipped a tree. Any suggestions on how to fix a gouge/hole on front side of a wing. Am in Australia and from reading some forums a type of selleys spakfilla looks the way to go. Any help greatly appreciated.

as roger said i would make the hole a manageable shape and cut a piece of foam to fit. Glue it in with some foam safe CA or hotglue gun, roughly shape to the original shape of the leading edge with a SHARP blade then lightly sand until the foam is the perfect shape. Wont add much weight at all, and will make your plane look nice again.

or as the others said, leave it as is, it wont effect the performance of the plane that much, maybe slow it down a little at 100% throttle due to the extra drag but that is negligible.
