I did repair the broken fuse.Was not hard to do,just took my time and made sure it was aligned properly.I think the hardest part was getting the blue stripe tapered down the side properly.
I never did weigh it after with the Zenoah,I sold the zenoah and put a DL-50 on it.
I recently acquired a 2.3 comp arf that I am putting the DL-50 on that I took off the patty.
I don't think my repairs added much weight.I cut out the broken balsa sheets and stringers after
getting it realigned and tacked together.Installed new stringers and sheeting.Where the new stringers and sheeting butted against where I cut in the plane,I glued with med CA and the just added a short piece of stringer or sheeting for added strength.

Here is some pics of the rebuild.
