Just got myself a Mini R/C Helicopter, unfortunately it's my first, so I have crashed it many times.
I kept dropping it out the sky so the landing skids broke.
My quick and dirty fix was to use a product called "Foam sealing strip".
The stuff you use to seal windows and doors.
It is really light, has strong self adhesive and as a bonus it absorbs shocks.
Anyway I cut them out with a razor blade to look a bit better.
I used 3 strips of foam sealant (pic 2).
The photos should explain the process
