In this vid I fix the landing gear saddle and fuselage which broke when a gust of wind lifted one wing at touchdown and the plane landed hard when the wind gave out.

Not an easy repair Dan. There are many ways to repair the breakage you incurred and you choose the one that worked fo you. Time will tell if the repair is good. Despite your best efforts that high stress area may fail again unless you make a solid plate/ Plywood across the full length of the Fuse. I also noticed the aluminium channels were bent slightly up due to the damaging hard landing. I wonder if they should had been replaced as well? Good video and thanks for sharing.
