Hi, Im building a flair puppeteer and its nearly done. the covering is finished and I now need to attach the tail plane and rudder to the fuselage, Im sure I know how to line it ul etc but wondered what was the best way of attaching it.... is super glue strong enough ? or should it be attached somhow else

thanks for any help

30 min epoxy is your best bet.

Nothing but 30 min epoxy.

You need the strength of epoxy, and you need time to get it aligned perfectly.

Once it is in place, a few strategically placed drops of CA with kicker will hold it there until the epoxy sets.

All i have used on any applied epoxy joint is
6 min epoxy. I have neeeever had a bad joint.
I have done this for 33 years.
30 min epoxy will give you more working time
but is not a must.

Thanks for the advice folks... hope to get it stuck this weekend

cheers the noo

Yes, you CAN use 6-minute epoxy, but if you're like me, a problem will arise at the last minute that causes you to break stride. next thing you know, you're scraping off the epoxy before it sets. The 30-min stuff gives a better bond, and allows extra time for unforeseen problems that may creep up.
