Default RE: Hangar 9 B-25 ARF: Building and Modifications

After a couple months of flying I too had to reglue the formers in the nacelles. I think that hot glue they use is not the best adhesive for the ply to fiberglass joint and couple that with the landing gear strain on them they tend to break loose. Mixed up a good batch of epoxy with fiber and hit all the joints and haven't had any further issues. Somebody asked about A123's causing it to be nose heavy. I wouldn't worry about it, running electric it tends to come out tail heavy. I suspect even with 123's in the fuel area and a pack up in the nose you'll still have to add nose weight. Jerry.
