Default repairing foam

I'm new to park flyers - my first is a GWS Pico Stick F. How do you repair damaged foam parts? (I'm taking some hits on the fuselage around the landing gear mount.) Thanks!

If you are talking about dents, I do not worry about them. I try to put packing tape were I think the abuse will be. If there are cracks, tears, broken parts I use white glue, probond, titebond or 5 minute epoxy.

if you can't find ProBond, use Gorilla Glue. I've used both, and with a good spritz of water on the glue and area to be patched, it dries much faster than ProBond (about 1/2 the time in my experience)

I used the glue that came with the kit to fix the wing. It appears to be good as new. BTW.. be careful pulling out of dives, the wings dont like it
