Default RE: Four Star 40 Kit - Oops!!

Just an FYI but for anyone using epoxy and making a mistake, epoxy softens with heat. It can be removed with a covering heat gun very easily and the wood and in this case metal parts are not damaged and can be used again.
To torque rod or not to torque rod??? It works and has been a good system for a lot of decades. The 4* 60 uses two aileron servos, it's often done on the 40 but it's just another either or thing. Today a lot of builders aren't good enough to install the rods correctly and opt for two servos. I use two servos just because it makes my set up easier with my radio.
One of the wonderful things about kit building is the choices you have. My next build I have decided to not install ailerons at all, my choice.
Have fun with your build.
