| Thanks Mike, good info! Will certainly give it a try once its finished being rebuilt.
Hey John,
I can't get the old tail boom into the CNC mount, did you have to sand down the boom to get it all the way into the mount, my screws are very loose and I can't seem so get the boom all the way thru?
PS: On this issue...

| man i wish the fibeglass canopy wasn't so brittle. mine is cracking already. i wish there was an aftermarket one with a cool paint job!

if you have some kevlar thread, or even standard cotton thread, cut a bunch of strip off the same length. Mix yourself up some 15/30 min epoxy, using a acid brush, brush a thin coat of epoxy inside the canopy where the stress areas are. lay some of the threads down on the areas, reapply another coat of epoxy. that was a tip I learned from my buddy DH. works great for strengthen.
Along with my parts that came today, I ordered another fiberglass canopy, they just look way better, IMHO. gonna have to paint another one up next week at work 
Hey john, if you want, ship me a spare canopy if you have one, I will paint it up for you and ship it back to ya if your interested! |
