How to fix the E-Flite Tensor 4D foamy bipe

So I flew the Tensor in a bit of wind, it got a bit far downwind from me and I put it in :(. Broke the fuse clean in half. Such a disappointment after enjoying how well it flies. So how to fix it? Well it's taken me a while but I've discovered the world of the hot glue gun.
I've read about the dangers of hot glue guns melting the foam but also the benefits that if done right, the foam cam slightly melt creating a better bond. So here's the repair job, looks pretty good however its yet to be tested in flight. I expect with most repairs, if its going to break, it'll break somewhere else other than the glue joint. We'll see....
