Default RE: *Using Threadlock*

As I was drinking my coffee this morning I was thinking of my first step to getting the screws loose from the landing gear. I thought I'd try the heat method first. I didn't have any luck with the heat and maybe it was that my heat gun my be a little to small for the job. As I said before, I don't have a Dremmel tool but I did have a cone shaped stone that fits in my drill. I fliped the plane upside down and started gridding with the stone. In less than 10 minutes I had both screw heads off and then it was just a matter of popping the landing gear off and using the studs that were left sticking up to knock out the blind nuts. All thats left is a trip to the LHS sometime this week for some new blind nuts and bolts and my plane is ready for the Mall Show to show off her new CF legs . This time I think I'll use the blue threadlock. Thanks for the help guys.
