Default Hysol VS Epoxy



I was curious to the bonding strength of the two, i am pretty sure the Hysol is supior to the expoxy but my deliema is that i have already used expoxy to install all my controll horns onto the controll surfaces. this is on a 1/8 SM F16. Anyone have any first hand experiance using epoxy for this type of stuff and have had problems or success please chime in.. I am debating if i should go back and dremel them back out and use Hysol.. i really dont want to but i rather go through the headache of doing so if need be, then to haveone of the horns breaking loses during flight and losing the whole jet. This is my first Turbine jet i have built so i was not aware of Hysol untill i spoke to another member that had the same jet and i noticed all his glue seams were white and i asked and then he told me that i really needed to use Hysol instead..I have built many EDF jets and have always used epoxy but they are no where near the caliber of the SM F16.
Thanks in advance. Minh</p>
