Just to clarify this one - I used the loctite on the tailfeathers also.
I have over 20 years (with a 10 year break in between of flying & building when I bought mine. I only bought it because I was new to the country and the field in 2005 when I went to the US and wanted something that I didn't need to think about flying while I got used to the new environment (I had discovered that the scene there was a lot different to what I was used to elsewhere - a lot more larger and faster, Everyone but me on Mode 2 - etc).

I followed the suggestion of the LHS man, bolted the tail feathers on first then used the excess loctite on the wing joint (I was surprised at how well it worked). I didn't want to epoxy the wing at the time because I was only originally going to be there for 3 months and thought I might take the plane back with me when I departed (which I finally did 18 months later with a number of planes but no trainers)

Ironically the first one I bought (An Alpha) flew for about 15 feet before the pushrod for the elevator popped out of the servo horn (The tail of the bend was not long enough - my bad for not picking that one up) and the second one (which was actually an Arrow) commited suicide after the tail separated in front of the area where it bolts on (when one of the teenagers was flying it flat out & inverted with a 10 x 7 prop on it). I probably could have gone back to H9 over both of these failures (certainly the first one) but never quite got around to doing so.
