Hey

I happened to mistakenly glue the RX battery in the fuselage with CA glue. How in the world can I take it out? It’s glued in the spot where it belongs but I would like to take it out.

Use debonder or acetone. Be careful if you use the acetone. The fumes are flammable and will also do a number on you. I suggest using acetone outside.

NJAIRSKE I got some weight out of my fuss by useing a heat gun.I used it on the inside of my fuss and kept moveing it around untill I got the weight and the Basla warm and stwisted it back anf forth a little and it came right out.It might work on the Battrie as well.My weight was glued in with epoxy and it came right lose,Goog luck Joe.

go to the LHS and get the debonder. Good investment. It will take a few minutes to loosen, depending on how much glue you have on it, may take several applications.

Heat will work on epoxy, but will not have any effect on CA (in my experience). Debonder works good, and doesn't smell as bad as acetone, but I think acetone works the best. Just be careful with it. Put a little on the glue, and let it sit for a few minutes, and then carefuly start rocking the battery back and forth. A second application may be necessary. The glue will eventually soften up and you can remove the battery.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, didn't it? I usually just box my batteries in with scrap balsa strips (1/8 inch thickness). It's easy to cut those sticks off when you need to remove the battery.

If it's in the right spot why bother with it? You might due more harm (to battery and plane) than good.

Ed- if it is glued down, he must not have it wrapped in foam either. So it should come out for that anyway. If it is wrapped, he could just cut it away.
