Thinking of doing all the gluing on my new Flite Streak with CA--even though it doesn't exactly agree with my sinuses.
And I'm gonna try a K&B .20 Sportster. Seems kinda heavy to me. (Got a BigMig .25 the same day, it seems way lighter than the Sportster).
Local club has a FliteStreak for a trainer, and it's mounted with a BigMig .15. Never tried it, but it presumably performs quite well--but they use shorter lines. I'm thinking of going for the default .015 60-ft. lines.
Thanx, for the tips,
M
minny,
There are some CA's that are "odor free", you might want to check them out. Although it takes more time to set, aliphatic resins are strong and a bit lighter (unless slopped on). You still can't beat epoxy for the engine area.
The Sportster or the Big Mig should do fine. The .015 x 60' should be good.
A .15 can be flown on .012 lines. Usually 52' is a good start (and a standard length).
Someone is flying a Flite Streak with a OS (LA or FP) .15 with good success. Remember the .15 has roughly the equivalent power of the older .19's and the FS is designed for older .19-.35's.
Good luck with it
