Wow! i am glad you escaped unscathed!
i just looked at my assembly since it is removed and i see the same issue you see, no cracks but no rivets or bolts to secure the inner spare on the inside of the tailboom. perhaps they didnt include any more rivets to make removal through the tailboom skin doubler easy without oblinging the hole? eitherway i'm going to install a bolt to secure the inside of mine and allow removal for future inspection.
i'm amazed no one has added a small angled bracket at the trailing edge to the 3rd bulkhead to alleviate any additional bending stress on the horizontal spar, i'm thinking like Robinsons have.
