The stock tail skid is garbage, I replaced mine with a fin from heli-direct.com. I attached it to the tail boom with a 3/16 landing gear mount. Here are links to everything I used:

Here's the tail fin:

It's for a HoneyBee Cool or King.

I fastened it on with a Du-bro 3/16 landing gear strap, part number 811. Which fits perfectly around the tail boom. I used a little masking tape inside the landing gear strap to firm up the fit. You can see them here:

I used Du-bro 2-56 Steel Hex nuts part number 560 to fasten it to the boom. Those are the best way I found to mount it. Both are easily available at your local hobby store.

I snapped off two tail supports within about a week of each other. I haven't had a single problem with the tail since putting on my fin and it looks good on the blade. Heres a couple pics:
