repairing polystyrene plane?

Hi, after flying a few of my fathers 2 channel electric park flyers, I've just purchased my own

Trouble is, I've crashed it on it's first outing and the tail section, or actually the whole back 1/4 of the plane has snapped off. What is the best thing to repair polystyrene with?

I think I made a purchase error with this, but hey, you live and learn...

TIA, Nick

standard 6 min epoxy and micro baloons will be more than strong enough. CA will just melt it as will hot glue if it is hot enough.

A length of packing tape on the top and one on the bottom of the fuselage should help strengthen it an appropriate amount. Rebalance after mods.

Looks like a fun plane, I would skip the landing gear though and just hand launch it and skid it in on some mowed grass.
