Perhaps you could try with your nice carbon servo covers?
But I guess we'll soon see
I have a run to Dubai coming up on the 9th Oli. I get in at 2055 local time and pretty much stay for 24hrs, if you're around?
Yes, choosing hard wood over aluminium was all about where the glue joint is going to be made. It is fairly rare to bond stuff directly on aluminum in our models.
I can flip the wood grain for sure, or also use a plywood plate. At the end of the day I want to test the joint resistance, not the adherence resistance.
So if I see that wood gives up first in my tests with stronger glues, I will change the holding surface.
