I initially did just that while I was waiting for the replacement parts, I carefully super glued the broken legs into place, and IMO this would work only so long as the front landing gear doesn't take a direct hit in a crash or hard landing. In the last crash I had the front landing gear took the brunt of the impact and broke off, so I opted to replace them, which ended up being less than $30. My main concern with gluing them is that I fear the antennas could take some damage in a crash or hard landing.If mine cracked like that I would just glue it, providing the antenna connection was still solid. In use that part is not exposed to a lot of stress so glue should work fine.
I cannot recommend a particular brand, but I would not use superglue. I have mixed results on the longevity of a superglue bond. There are some glues available that can provide a stronger bond than the original plastic.... I carefully super glued the broken legs into place...
Ya, I believe some of the epoxy compounds provide a very good bond.I cannot recommend a particular brand, but I would not use superglue. I have mixed results on the longevity of a superglue bond. There are some glues available that can provide a stronger bond than the original plastic.
He outta knowI would not use epoxy or superglue. They are both very brittle. You should use a flexible adhesive like shoe goo which is strong but is easily removable.
I gotta say that instead of spending $6 or $8 for a tube of adhesive, it's better to just buy the part. If you get any adhesive into your motor you'll be very sorry later.
