Default To glue or not to glue....

I'm going to be assembling an ARF Rascal 40. Sig set it up to have two piece wings, but I have no problems with transport, so I'm debating just epoxying them together. Any of you Rascal fliers out there glued them, left them apart, what do you think? I don't know how comfortable I will be trying aerobatics (well, what the Rascal can do anyway) with two piece wings.....

We have 2 Rascal .40's in our club, and neither guy has glued the wings together. I was thinking that if it were mine, I'd glue 'em, but so far, they have held up fine w/o gluing. Niether one of these guys is what you'd call an aerobatic flyer, but they have really stressed 'em I'll tell ya! And, you'd be surprised at how many manuvers you can do with a Rascal. I've done snaps, cuban 8's, inverted flight, knife edge, and really tight inside loops, and (like I said) so far, so good...P.S. one of 'em has been flying for over a year, w/ a .46 in it...

I didn't glue mine either. I left them so I could take them apart just in case I need to use a different vehicle. Never had any problem with it.

If you have a concern....glue 'em....it will make your flying more enjoyable.
