Default Hobbico Hobbistar 60 Select

Hey, getting back into the hobby after a few years. I ordered a Hobbico Hobbistar 60 Select RTF and am wondering should I go ahead and epoxy the tail and rudder or rely on the bolts only. I know I am going to epoxy the wing and fuelproof the firewall.

Thanx

I would also, but I am epoxy happy!! Never have to worry about epoxy comming loose?

By the way, nice choice in plane. I think they fly great and you should enjoy it very much.

There are other models that also come with bolt on tail surfaces. They seem to work for a few flights but then start to come loose and the bolt holes start to get larger with the vibration. Just epoxy the parts on from the start to prevent problems. [8D]
