Default RE: getting epoxy in small areas

ORIGINAL: Zor

Please note that I said ''I never used G/G and still do not.
I use 30 min epoxy and there is not a lot coming out of the venting holes.

We have to make sure that the whole inside surface of the drilled holes is covered with epoxy without any excess. Same on the stems of the hinges; no excess.

Make sure you can see the glue at the hole and if there is some coming out, wipe it off before the final push in of the hinges. Rarely is there any if the glue application was not excessive. Many tests have proven that.

Like any other types of gluing, gluing is an art and a dexterity to be learned.

NOTE:
Someone mentioned that he has 1800 oz of torque on his servos which I figure is a reason for solid control surfaces hinge gluing.

Anyone can have 1800 oz force (that is 112.5 lbs-force) even on mini-servos if the moment arm is short.

Torque IS NOT mesured in oz or pounds-force.

Any force trying to pull out a hinge would come from the aerodynamic forces on the control surfaces; not from the capability of the servo(s).

You completely evaded my statement that the surfaces are over 300 sq. in. of area each and when deflected at the air speeds I stated there are all kinds of aerodynamic loads... Hello I gave the torque values only to show what it takes to deflect and maintain a given throw on surfaces this large while at speeds this high.

NOTE: You pulled just a portion of what I stated and through some poor engineering Bla, Bla, Bla, out there that means nothing of any value...
