What do you think of the gorilla glue idea?

I think the only product that will work with the C/F is hysol. its a 2 part epoxy of sort they use it on the comp-arf's plane's. its a bit expensive though


here's a link to the product.

Status: online 		Given the uncertainty, and the fact that if it doesn't work the wing is ruined or if it works halfway the whole plane could be toast, I think I'd stick with aircraft ply parts and either epoxy or CA.

8 of these tabs weigh about 1-2 grams. We already know that lite ply works great in normal circumstances, why take a chance with CF?

I'm looking to do the same setup and any help would be great.

I'm trying to get all my ducks lined up so I can mow then down in one shot!
Nothing is more frustrating than having 98% of everything you need then you find that one part you have to order and it will take forever to get here while your build is on hold!

Any other goodies I need to know about?

Or heck, is there a manual online for the Ultimate? I saw the ones for the Giles and Extra's and such.

Thanks again

Status: offline 		Thanks Mark,
I tried calling this morning and got the answering machine so I e-mailed Tom and I'll wait for the reply.
Anyone think of anything off-hand that I'll need special? I have quite a stock of goodies and a decent LHS but if someone thinks of something that a LHS might not have that needs to be ordered please let me know.

Status: offline 		Since the tank sits deep inside the fuse and the fuel lines are totally covered, You will feel alot more at ease knowing that your tank installation is bulletproof.

Starting with Aerotrends blue gas lines...I use soldered barbs on the interior and exterior of the brass fuel tubing, and I also wrap the fuel lines with sullivan twist-ties. I then finish the install with a sullivan heavy duty aluminum stopper.

All these items can be found on tower hobbies web site.
