Default Charging Micro Helo Problems

Hi Guys,

I'm sure you've seen one of these before. It's a cheap-OH Chinese made micro helo. It's only a couple of bucks and I know, you get what you pay for. They break easy and all that, but can be quite a bit of fun.

Here's the problem though. The charging plug just doesn't want to stay connected. Is there any way I can jerry rig this thing so I don't have to sit there physically holding the plug to keep it in place. I've tried rubber bands, wedging it, etc....not working.

I'm thinking to just get another lead and soldering the wires to the two recepticle pins. Could this work?

Taking this thing apart and replacing the plug isn't an option as it's styrofoam that's been glued together.

As always, thank you for your thoughts and experience.
