Wow, Do you happen to know what kind of glue was used during construction? There
must be some structural members broken as well. I am very curious to what
you find and how you correct the issues.
I am an EAA Tech Counselor and I try to stay educated so I can hopefully keep someone
else from having a similar issue. Please keep us posted.
Many thanks,

Wow. Definitely interested in hearing more once you check it out more carefully...
Seems like a negative g induced failure, what ever the root cause.
Also interested in the repair.
Fwiw, I repaired a similar fabric issue like that with Stewarts. They are stc'ed
for simple overlap patches in a case like that which will preclude recovering
the entire fuse, at the cost of looks.
If good enough for certificated planes.... And it just felt right, very tenacious
adhesive. I'm a little leery of poly tak with standing the 350 deg shrink.
Good luck with the repair, let us know more as you figure it all out. Man, I feel
a experimental AD coming on! Yikes.

Tools; another forehead-slapping "doh!" moment for me when you mentioned negative
Gs. I was wondering to myself what could have pulled the strut attach fitting
down so hard that the lower longeron split or pulled away from the uprights.
A good downward push by the wing strut could sure do it!! As you know, one
of the only (or at least the best known) inflight structural failures of an
Air Camper resulted from a negative-G maneuver. We can only guess what caused
this one... flying through a thunderstorm or wind shear?
If finding this crack results in a thorough inspection of the major glue joints
and structural mountings, it will have been worth it in peace of mind once everything
is found to be airworthy or is repaired as needed. There will also be
a springtime next year, if this spring ends up being make-and-mend or even a
fabric recovering job for Eight-Six-Lima.

I like the look of the silver on the wings and tail surfaces of Four-Sierra-Golf.
The day looks like it was fun!
