RE: Disaster Averted
Too late for pictures, its all glued back together. No I removed the covering from the both stab's, so it was not that. This is the first time I have ever personally seen an epoxy joint let go. But this time I put half of the Devcon syringe load inside, forgot to mention I mixxed it first lol. The good two ton stuff. I dare it to come out this time. The first time I used Locktite brand, one I do not usually use. I did take a little extra covering off around the outside of the fus. section in the joint. Now I need to pick up a little white Monokote and seal around and also I want to put some over the end of the vert. stab. Extra insurance that air will not get up under it and rip it loose. Besides with the OS 46 AX it will need a little tail weight.
Graup. you know the old saying "if it doesn't work just get a bigger hammer". LOL I lubed the axles with dish soap and the collars would not go on. I even tried a different set of collars and those would not slide on as well. I think when I ditch the foam wheels and pick up some good dubro rubber I will take the dremel and ever so slightly take a little off the axle at the tip. It seems to have ballooned up a little. Once I get over the hump, they slide OK. And also love the avatar. I still have my #1 addition of the Transformers comic when it was released in the early to mid 80's. And enjoyed the show a lot.
I am also going to install dubro safety horns with the sliding lock on the end. Has anyone used these and do they work well?
