Subject: broken spar


A quick question, that I think I know the answer to... I was flying my 3/4 Edge
the other week in some high winds that were really gusting at points.  End
result:  I split the lower leading edge spar (the split seemed to go for about
5-6 inches).  I used some super glue and repaired it, but I have a feeling that
the spar's flexibility is now screwed up.  So, is it the opinion of rec.kiters
to bag the spar and spring for a new one, or will this not cause any problems
(I haven't flown it since).  Would like to know soon, since I'll be traveling
with it in about 2 weeks.  Thanks.  -Greg
