For those of us who have busted the fuselage at the tail, ( the most vulnerable portion of fuselage) I have found an extremely easy way to repair.
At my local Home Depot I bought a shrink wrap window sealing kit and some liquid nails clear adhesive (My preferred glue, the small tube like toothpaste, not the gun tube). I first glued the parts together and taped with (our best friend)..clear packing tape then I shrink wrapped the entire back half of fuselage up to the main wing for added integrity.
I have found this repair to be very successful and I've noticed no change in flight characteristics. Just remember to remove tail assembly first and cut out the push-rod from the shrink wrap.
this repair cost me 6-7 $ and I have enough leftover materials to repair 30 more like this.
