Glue For Stabilisers
Hi, I've put together a few planes and, for nitro planes, have always used epoxy for the horizontal and vertical stabilisers as I was of the view that the epoxy joint was a little more resistant to vibration and generally more durable. The extra working time and easy clen up were also pluses.
Recently, I've seen a few instruction manuals (e.g. Somenzini, Serb Art) where the horizontal stab is glued on using thin CA. The vertical stab is still glued in using epoxy. I guess the draw here would be a shorter working time and near instantaneous setting of position (no accidental bumping while the glues cures)
Is this safe? I guess I have done a few electric and 1/2A planes this way and never had a failure, but would this be strong/robust enough on a bigger nitro/gas plane?
Thanks.
