My personal choice would be epoxy, though if it is an extremely clean break, CA might work. Epoxy will do a better job if the break is irregular. - Jeff

Hi Wattmeter,</p>

For a broken wing repair, you should include some sort of reinforcement.  A carbon fiber rod is best, but you can also use a wooden skewer, a plastic rod, etc.  Basically, anything that is light but rigid to keep the wing from flexing at the break.</p>
