Bobcat 52 Fuselage Issue
I have a bobcat 52 with a fuselage that has the former glued in right where the wing anti rotation rod goes. How can I got about getting a replacment?

RE: Bobcat 52 Fuselage Issue
You should be able to heat the former with a hot air gun ( don't use a hair dryer ) from the inside of the fuse.
This will loosen the glue, and then you can pop the former forward or sideways without damaging it.
Reglue it in place with a liberal application of epoxy to clear the rod.
I've done this on a couple of Bobcats without problems.
Some people have used this technique to remove ALL of the formers in preparation for mounting a TURBINE and electronics on the Bobcat... amazing.
