Look at the white around the nuts....
My experience the honeycomb cell walls aren't "etched" enough for glue to bond mechanically....torque a nut down real good and you get those white markets around them...those are tears... little ones...but tears none of the less...
My experience is the cell walls go first like in the pic with the xray...to the left of the bottom left nut earlier in the thread
FEJ....
Better safe than sorry, just send out some plates (wood etc) to distribute the compression load throughout the cells of models that are still flying....
Here's what I wrote about my experience with HC in RCG....
