title_body: Is superglue (cyanoacrylate) a viable means to repair quadcopter frames? One of the tiny struts holding the rotor on my TinyWhoop Nano broke (surprise!) and I've used superglue (cyanoacrylate) to bond it back together. I don't know yet if this fix will be suitable or not, because I haven't even gotten the quad properly flying.
  As fragile as some small drone frames seem to be, I wondered whether it's possible to glue them together, or if there's irreversible damage due to having the angle of a rotor changed slightly.
  I know some frames are carbon fiber and I wouldn't expect superglue to work well.
  Is it a &quot;standard practice&quot; to repair minor damage on frames, or is it recommended to always get a new frame should non-superficial damage occur?
upvoted_answer: It depends on the risk you are willing to take, but for such a small drone being flown indoors I'd give it a go1 and accept it may crash - after all, it has already done so once so it can't be made worse! The repair will, however, be a weak point in future crashes.
  How well it flies will depend on how accurately you reposition the part, but you're likely to get 'close enough' (again, probably 'worth a try'.) I would also, once the glue has fully set, try to hold the drone only by the broken bit and give it a shake - if it can hold the whole weight, it should be OK when the weight is divided between the propellers.
  For larger drones you should replace the part to manufacturer specs or get a professional to take a look.
