Yep, must be, that's a lot worse than any turning problems I had.

I bought two last night (I'm on a photo mission in DC) at KMart, they had 6 AAs, I bought two for $29.95 each. So we can add that store to the list.

Any good odorless CA should work on EPP, or you can use goop, or good old GWS glue.

The trick with GWS glue, which in fact is a terrific glue if you use it correctly, (I learned this from another thread here on this wonderful RC Universe forum where I'vce learned so much (thank you all!)) is to apply the glue to both parts, do a trial push together, separate the parts, then let the glue dry for five or ten minutes, then push the parts together, tape or whatever, and go away for awhile and let the glue set up hard. It really dries hard and tough once you leave it long enough, and I think the clue seems to be not to stick the parts together right away, so some of the moisture in the glue evaporates out first...though don't quote me on this, I'm just guessing. All I can say is the GWS foamie I'm building right now was glued using this method, and the glue joint is as tenacious as you could expect...this on white GWS foam, so would work just fine for the engines on the AA. As I'll be finding out. I'm taking one of mine, sticking the lower wings up top as reported earlier, and mounting the engines outboard, and also into the wing, with some little fairings, to minimize drag. And gluing the engines, of course...I'm tired of sticking those things back in there.

Then again, I've gotten real good at flying my little guys within 5 feet above my head down to a foot or two off the ground, doing tight figure 8s, in light breezes, just little touches to the sticks to keep things cool, half throttle or less, really really a great beginning teacher for RC. I've already gotten better than I ever did with models that were sluggish, slow to respond, yaw/roll coupled (slow stick) and really just too slow. I should havfe had an aileron ship all along, or a responsive little thing like this simple AA, which has given me plenty of learning opportunities to get the basic RC controlling bugs out of my head, such as flying when the airplane is coming at you, judging obstacles peripherally while watching the aircraft, proper vs. overcontrolling, and more. I think these are great liottle training planes, because your hand eye coordination is given such a good work out and you get immediate response, and that's what learning's about.

Yay A A!
