Hey, whats this about u said "from a member who has never crashed a plane", that's stretching the bs pretty thick. Didn't u have a real nice one u spread on the runway awhile ago? I am trying a couple of hooks on the cularis wing with a r/band 2 c if it solves the problem, otherwise I will remove the e/connections and go normal/ Mick has a few noisy smelly motor thingys u like marcel 4 sale. mayb u should get a couple so u will have some 4 awhile. I don't think reilly even knows this site exists 2 put a pic on. when he comes next, someone could take a pic and put it up on here.
Marcel ,would it be possible to use smallish dots of silicone or some other type of glue that could be cut with a fine craft knife or other fine instrument if worse came to worse? ?
It's a foamy Marcel!! Hot glue the servos in, glue the tail feathers on with CA or hot glue. Put the motor & esc in and give it 3 Hail Mary's, it will survive!!! oh and throw in a battery.
If you need some help there are a lots of foam engineers in the club who will gladly offer their time.

Ahhh... That wasn't actually my fault. It was Dave's. I'm calling it "Dave Damage". Anyway, even if it wasn't Dave's, it still wasn't my fault. The ground was seen to impact my model while it was flying straight and level at a low altitude. Not my fault in any way Peter T.
Does silicone stick to foamies? Liquid nails melts them...
The left and right fuselage halves need to be glued together, after fitment of servos and motor. Once in, you can't access them ever again even if you taped or hot-melt glued them in. They're buried in the sides.
Marcel, u might know balsa nitro thingies, but seems u don't know foam 2 well. The best is 2 use a hot glue gun, however if u use 30 min epoxy, like u would 4 wood, after a while it will peel off foam like plastic paint off a house. Epoxy works sort off on foam, but will peel if u use a knife 2 split the fuse. I have come across a few foamies done this way, so please urself. get urs flying, and I will bring mine out again.
The silicone I l know off will melt the foam, however u can get foam safe liquid nails as well. bit like epoxy, not worth the effort. Just put in M/G servos if ur worried and b done with it.
Peter...you say epoxy will peel off ....maybe that is the answer to the problem.....my Bixler was bought as a kit and I glued the two halves together with Araldite ...has never looked like coming apart.... but maybe it would peel like you say if I stuck a blade in and tryed to prise it apart ...worth experimenting.. ?
Worth Experimenting!!! NOT ON MY GLIDER YOU WON'T!!!
Just tryin to help.... what about just putting it together and making some strategically placed marks or measurements /photos where you need to cut in an emergency. ...blah blah blah.....
That's a good idea Kennyglide. I just wish it was designed to be able to replace failed components. Everyone glues everything in, I don't really need to be different.
Hey, on another topic, is there any reason that our membership renewal forms and new member forms don't have the clubs bank details on them? I visited David today to give him a form and tried to show him where to direct deposit the $140. Not there this year.
Yes Marcel, it's a new game we invented, its called"Find the bank account" if you can find it & make the right deposit then you become a member. How easy is that!!
LOL cheers.
