Default RE: Ultra Stick 120 Lite

Pappy's correct, I 'm a Material Bonder for Bell Helicopter here in Tx. I wrote that on the fly at 4 AM before work.
Use just enough to wet the material good. I use something called 956, But I've used the epoxy with the same results.
As for the stock, on this particular plane there is two small pieces on each side. I added more across the front
and back. I also have used square and rectangle stock when in a pinch. There are no hard and fast rules as
to what you have to use. I've even replaced the wood the gear mounts to with a piece of Oak, but if it's reinforced
enough/correctly, that should'nt be necessary. Wieght is only the real thing you have to watch, and in less your
one of the 3D guys that count every 1/2 ounce your really not going to make that much of a difference.
