Jim,
I know what you mean, but you also shouldn't go sparingly with the HG on these two joints. The "bigger blob" of glue around the wire should better distribute out the force into the foam. If you live in a warmer climate, this is a joint I'd HIGHLY recommend doing with Gorilla Glue (inject glue, tape over seam and add weight to press the joint flat while it cures).
Keep in mind, you're also dividing that force between three mounting points, and odds are the first failure will be at the joint just above the wheel, absorbing most of the energy in a "hard landing". This is why that joint should be zip-tied and glued, not soldered. It's actually a fairly resilient and easily repaired design.
