Perfect Lee! Yes, I painted it with the old acrylic lacquer Krylon white. I only need one can.

Interesting fact. When I bought my Lil’ Hustler I asked Carl what color he used on his Lil’ Hustler model that I saw in his NARAM pictures. He used John Deere Yellow on his model 
I might just sand and then wick some CA into the two cracks and fill with Bondo spot putty. If it isn’t strong enough after that I may put a light epoxy fillet over it but the fin is still holding in the slot. Feels like a surface crack like maybe some dummy didn’t prep the tube well enough for the epoxy to grab rushing through the build to get it painted and in the air. 
All you guys are the experts in rescues and repairs does that sound like a pretty good plan? I want to tape off the yellow ... I don’t have any more of the yellow paint on hand either.
