I put balsa on the sides and a strip on the front and rear of the landing gear and I used 30 minute expoxy. I did this with a Balsa USA smoothie and two RC Nobler's never had a problem.

I do the same, but I then glass the structure. Besides adding a little strength, it seals the balsa, prepaing it for paint.
