The canopy mount posts on the micro Blade helis break very easily. I've tried to glue them back on with very little success and ended up replacing the frame which is inexpensive but a major PITA. I thought I would share this video I found recently to show how to do a repair instead:

I tried it and it works very well. I think it would work for landing gear repair as well.
As for finding a "Pin Vice" or "Jewelers Drill" as referenced in the video, Lee Valley has one that worked for me:

Probably Maritime Hobbies has them too.
