Default RE: Broken foamy - need advice

Welcome to the hobby! Once you get past the novice phase, it's a lot more fun.

If your plane uses the little unit with the receiver and servos all together, the foam safe CA will be fine on it too. Your story is very common now that companies are marketing the micro planes. They are not built to handle any wind, and even without it they are a challenge for beginners. On top of that, this one is a biplane which requires more experience than many others to manage speed on landings. If you have a big indoor venue where you can fly, then you may have some fun with this plane. But if not, you'll keep breaking it until it's unfixable or either lose it when you get up into some wind that you didn't realize was there.
For something that works better, the Hobby Zone Super Cub is a well-proven beginner's plane. It doesn't like wind either, but it can at least handle the little gusts and turbulence that you'll find on calm days.
