Default Disaster Averted

I had the oddest thing happen this evening while working on my Avistar. The wheel collars where being a pain to get on, so I was taking a hammer and tapping them to get them on the axle. I started hearing funny sounds from the tail section and low an behold my vertical stab came off. Good thing it was not in the air. It was like the epoxy I put on it was hardly there. So I ruffed up the sides and packed it full and put it back in. It was just hard to get exact on being vertical with the plane with all the tail surfaces installed. I hope it bonds better this time. I used a different brand epoxy. Now I am worried about my FuntanaS. I used the other tube on it as well. Maybe the banging on the wheel collar just shook it loose.
