My stab bolts came loose even with thread lock. Ended up epoxying them in place. Some have been epoxying the wing to the fuse saddle (top and bottom) to firm things up. Mine has been fine without, but some seem to need that.

Also douse the landing gear block with CA, add some tri-stock if you can. The whole area above the landing gear, right infront of the wing, also could use some. A rough harrier landing quickly snaps the plane in two, ask me how I know
. I had an OS 46AX in it, and that plane would rocket out of hovers. 9~10lbs of thrust on a 4lb airplane is sick. Plane flies great, but don't expect any HA KE. It does KE for miles, but wants to snap in HA.
I loved that plane, and it was very repairable...I just bought a Pulse XT40 to replace it because I was sick of crashing all of my 3D planes. I'm taking a break from 3D until I get my foamy, which will be a couple of months.

I own a Tribute 36 with a 46AX. I reinforced mine with 1/16" plywood. I cut open the covering right at the wing saddle and glued them to the balsa formers. I have flown it and have not been able to break it in the air. I hope this helps.
