Default Foam friendly CA or Epoxy/slow stick

Hello all I'm a newbie with a few ?'s. For the slow stick I've read that many people use epoxy, along w/ tape, to glue the center of the wing and also the tail pcs to the fuse. Can you use foam friendly CA w/ accelerator instead of epoxy? Also when taping the elevator and rudder does a person need to pre bend the assembly before taping so as to have enough throw in each direction or tape it with it laying flat. Also you put tape on both sides correct? One more question. I have the e-flite outrunner 370 brushless w/ a 20 amp brushless sc w/ a 1320 ,11.1 thunder power 3 cell lipo. Right now I've got a APC 9x4.5 prop . Is this the prop I should use for the Slow Stick? Thanks

Hey Spunkler

Welcome aboard!! Those littl Slow Sticks make a great first plane. You are on the right track on your mods. I have one with a 370 brushless and flys great. I use ca and it work good.

Happy fly'n!!!

You do need to make sure that the CA you are using is foam freindly, else the wing might fade away. Good Luck, Dave

Whoa.................Tape one side only in the flat...............Bend it toward the tape and cut or sand the relief angles on the back side so it can hinge (bend) both directions.

Go here for good building instructions: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...?article_id=75

and also
