Subject: Skynasaur Aerobat and a Question on Glue

Hi.
 
I own an Aerobat and have been flying it for a few weeks now. It is my first
non-diamond shaped stunt kite. I thought I'd gotten the hang of it, but
yesterday, in a pretty bad crash one stand-off popped off. I found it but lost
the little rupper cap that attaches it to the sail.
I think a replacement won't be too hard to find but my question is: can I glue
them to avoid this from happening again? Will the glue erode the rubber?
What kind can I use?
 
Anyone?
Thanks for any answers.
 
Arne

Same thing happened to me, so I took it back to the store. They said that 
they should have glued it for me. They replaced the missing cap, clued 
the standoffs to the kite, and sent me on my way. So far so good! We've 
been fairly succesfull so far with it. Even my 11 year daughter is 
kicken! We are doing all kinds of stunts with it, now for a 360!!!!
