I like it Rico.
What I did was to wrap a piece of foam around tail boom; a piece of coke bottle plastic over that and then wrapped electrical tape over that. I just cover the area that gets hits the most
T.W. you could still do this and you don’t need to take it apart, and it will hide any dents you have now.
Rico yours would be less obvious.
I have also taken a tail boom broken in half, and slipped a piece brass tub (about 3”long) on the out side of it covered it with electrical tape.
You could not tell it was broken.
