RE: C-130E construction
Ok.... I had a bad experience with the rear gearbox! I guess the epoxy was to cold to mix really good or to cold for the epoxy to stick to the fiberglass. I simply touched the box and it went flying off! I went back and roughed everything up again, superheated the epoxy and FG body. It seemed to hold this time. Then I went in and put on the four braces that connect with the side walls. The only problem is that one of the braces did the same thing in one spot as the earlier gearbox did. I am going to heat the epoxy up and really thin it dowwn with denatured alcohol, and let it seep into the loose area. Next part is the nose gear. I am kind of unclear as to how I am going to do it. I want a more stable structure to mount the gear. Any word as to the cushion factor for the robo struts? Big qustion... how much were they??????
