That Sea Fury is coming along nice, but will it be ready by April? I neet to get my 190D done, but until I figure out the landing gear situation, on the shelf it stays.

Got the VQ 190 all done today. Could not find any silver solder in Willits or Ukiah, so I tried something different and am pleased. For the pushrods for the flaps and ailerons I am using 4-40 fully threaded stock and Dubro clevises. I thought it might have been the black paint on the clevis, and sanded it off to see if that would help, but no go. Bought a pencil torch to try and heat some regular solder, but it did not do a thing except incincerate the solder. Now I have done my other linkages in the past in the original manner with no problems so I am not sure what the problem is this go around. When I soldered the pushrods for the elevator and rudder I had no issues but that was with 4-40 stock with threadiing only on the ends. Anyways....
I went ahead and just used the clear gorilla glue to see if it would hold and I am impressed with it. Since the pushrods are fully threaded I am not worried about the pushrod slipping off the clevis, just if it vibrates and twists off the threads. The Gorilla glue did a bang up job, and I tried my hardest twist it off and it did not budge or crack or nothing. Will try it out tomorrow, should be just fine though. As long as the weather is good, the maiden looks like it is tomorrow. Wish me luck guys. Should be some pics.
