Well, we've all been there - the balsa grain runs in such a way that the trailing edge tip can break off.
If the tip break is small you can fill it.
Sand off some balsa dust from some scrap balsa. Don't sneeze.
Apply some yellow wood glue to the broken corner. Use wood glue for this, yellow glue can be easily sanded.
Press the glued corner into the balsa dust pile from all sides.
Let the balsa dust and glue dry.
Note in the inset picture that the dust and glue is a little larger than the chip area.
Here's the same filled corner after filling and sanding to surface.
Not perfect, but after the fillets are applied it won't be noticeable.
