Default RE: New CMP Cessna 182 .52 size

Will only be able to fly her this coming weekend. But I will post some pictures of her maiden. This is my first scale plane. So it should be fun.

Locktite normally does not work well on mufflers. The muffler gets hot and the locktite melts so it's pointless. What helps is tightning the muffler bolts, then fly the plane and then tighten the bolts again while the engine is hot right after a flight. If that does not work I usually use a locknut on the bolts. Then it really stays on.
