i have depron of 4mm thickness to be used as fuselage, for 30cm wingspan catapult-launch glider.i tried depron without any reinforcement and handlaunched and fuse got broken on nose-dive at the nose.

Problems:
1.How should i strengthen a 4mm depron fuselage for catapult-launch glider 0f 30cm wingspan to withstand any harsh nosedives?
2.what should i provide at the nose of depron so that when rubber-band is extended for catapult-launch at the depron, depron doesnt get teared?
