Default RE: I hate CA Glue


ORIGINAL: pcbprotool

I'm going to have to agree with "AG4ever" I've been building planes before RC was invented. I built control-line planes for my dad in the 50's. CA works well, very well. Once I built a Pete and Poke and I ran out of the CA, so I went to the basement and used the yellow carpenters glue. I used the carpenters glue on the stabilizer. In about a years worth of flying this plane guess what happened. In mid flight the stab broke off and the plane, well you know the rest of the story... Was it the glue, or workmanship, bad bulsa... I'll never know but every plane I've built using CA has never done me in... How do you thin thick CA?? Go to your local hobbie store and but the thinn stuff....

Sorry I couldn't resist.

You might want to re-read what I posted

CA has it's place, but for me it is not in most of my plane's joints.
