anybody else tested a different glue on the inside of CMP fues's ??
I haven't done a lot to the fuselage yet, but some of the formers were coming loose. I glued them with thin CA and a dash of Micro-Balloons. Get some Balloons in the groove and drop some CA over it, don't know if it'll hold with engine vibration but we'll see.

Finished the scale hinging for the elevators.
First picture shows the completely new elevators and hinges.
Next you can see how the leading edge of the elevator was made in two pieces and just tack glued together for shaping and sanding. I popped them apart and cut a grove for the 1/8 plastic tube. When that's finished glue the pieces permanently back together. Then cut the hinge slots.
After the slots are cut install the hinges into the elevator by inserting the metal rod. Then glue the hinges into the stab for perfect alignment.
Then you can see how they work, very smooth operation!
