Default RE: Hangar 9 1/4 scale Cub build thread...

Like a number of others who have bought this model, I carefuly checked the layup of the firewall and forward fuselage structure. Yep, it was very shy of glue. Most notably, there was none visible on the top and bottom of the firewall. I applied some thin CA and then used 12 minute epoxy on top of these areas.




Since I am going to use a gas engine, I wanted to protect the liteply firewall from heat damage, so I applied some aircraft grade aluminum that is about .002" thick and epoxied over it.
