Status: offline 		I accidentally got a little CA into the nylon tailwheel bearing of a pulse xt 40 when I was gluing the rudder hinges. I should have used vaseline around the hinge to prevent this. I can move the rudder back and forth, but it is still binding in the nylon bearing that holds the tailwheel assembly. I tried adding a few drops of oil to the bearing and this helped a little. Should I try CA debonder?

Yes. You don't have much to loose, and the debonder should not even touch nylon.

I checked the msds for various debonders and some are acetone, but others (like super solvent) are a mix of nitro alkanes. These are supposed to work slightly better than straight acetone.

Status: offline 		I tried straight acetone. It helped a lot. The rudder is still not completely smooth, but the servo seems to handle it fine. Once the rudder starts to move there is not much friction.
Thanks for all the advice!
