As you say, best discussed with your inspector - however a relatively easy
repair I would have thought.
Just need to push the damaged portion back in to shape and 2 layers of bid
each side. Might need some flox to fill in any voids but the damage doesn't
look too severe.
You may need to do this in 2 stages - push the inside part into shape with
something pliable (foam rubber)) and weighted down to keep in place, glass
up the outside part first and when set glass up the inside.
I wouldn't have thought it necessary to replace the foam in between but your
inspector may have a different view.
Anyway fairly simple provided the top isn't glued on yet (which I assume it
isn't).
Good luck.

Subject: Europa-List: fuselage repair
--> <fireflier@btinternet.com>
hello all
I'm new to the forum have just purchased a part built Europa kit. However
whilst transporting it back home it sustained some damage to the fuselage (
see picture attached) the reason for my post is to ask your opinions as to
how best to repair this damage?
The kit is in storage at the moment but will be getting moved to my workshop
within the next couple of weeks to allow me to start my build process. My
thoughts are before tackling anything else I need to make a proper repair to
the damage sustained to the fuselage before continuing with the build.
When my inspector comes to check my workshop I will obviously discuss the
repair with him and get his opinions as how best to proceed with repairing
the damage.
I would value any opinions and options from yourselves as to the best
options to make a repair to the damage.
Many thanks taking the time in reading my post and I shall look forward to
receiving your thoughts and solutions.
Kind regards
Fireflier
