I fly a WIngo Parkflyer and use 5 min epoxy on all my styrofoam. I just simply glue it back together, and within no time Im back up and running.

Thanks. I don't suppose there is any way to repair bent/creased/folded tailfeathers? As you can tell, I am new to electric aircraft. I'm OK with glow and balsa, but this lightweight stuff is different..

Not any ideas on bent/creased tailfeathers w/o seeing first hand. Im a noob in the whole electric foamies my self. Maybe a stiff piece of thin cardboard with epoxy, but not sure unless I saw it myself.

Try some strapping tap to stiffen it up. If you are having trouble with the tape sticking, use some 3m 77 contact spray. it can be found at most hardware stores. 
Hope this helps. Don
