Default RE: Floats on a trainer

I learned the hard way about those Falcon mounts. I fixed mine by yes, CAing the plastic mounts to the top of the plastic float. Did this after I re-epoxied the little tubes in. Did a slight amount of scuffing of the 2 plastic surfaces before CAing them. Won't know until April when we hold our first float fly here in OR how well they will hold up. One thing I can say with ALMOST full certainty is that the instructions do NOT say to CA this point. I did it after they seperated as a fix. It makes good common sense, but I didn't think of it at the time. I hope they hold. They did work great on my UltraStick 40 with a 2 stroke 46, until they started to self destruct.
