Need some mod advice
 
1 What should I use to dissolve the CA glue that holds the tail boom in place?
2 Will the anti rotation CNC arm for the piccolo work on the Aero Hawk?
3 Will the titanium main shaft for the piccolo work on the Aero Hawk?
4 Does anyone have experience with the ducted fan tail rotor thing? Is it a strait swap or are there gyro adjustments that need to be made before it works......does it work?

What was an Aero hawk is slowly becoming a frankenheli. I have a humming bird aluminum head, aluminum swashplate, etc. Im in the process of getting one of those Acro motors, I hear they are good. Ill post pics when I am done. So far it flies like a dream with all the mods.

take every thing off the tail including bearings and soak th tail in nail polish remover aslong as it has acetone in it for about 3-5 min and it shuld popo off or u can buy debonder glue from lhs and will do the same job.

Forget about the CA debonder and get a heatgun. Apply heat to the joint you want to loosen and be careful you don't get it too hot, just a few seconds to heat up the joint and it should pull apart!

Another trick that works is if it's carbon fiber CA'd to carbon fiber you can take a small gel cell battery and hook up wire on either side of the area you want to remove. Connect the two areas with the gel cell battery for just a few seconds, it will heat up the carbon fiber since it conducts electricity and it will come apart.

Hope this helps!
