just got myself hobbykings t45 goshawk ,looking forward to flying it but forgot about glue/epoxy anyone got any suggestions for a stong bond ,its that long since I used epoxy as flying helis u only need threadlock
You can use Zap CA glue and kicker - the kicker is just like an activator that makes it stick quicker and better. You can also use a glue gun, but the glue remelts if you take your plane somewhere hot. Happened a bit hear one Summer when it was particularly warm. To be honest though I just use Gorilla Glue for nearly everything (not the Gorilla superglue, the brown stuff linked to). It doesn't need kicker, you just dampen the surfaces slightly. You only need a bit though, if you put too much on it expands through the joint into a sort of foamyness - though it's not a total disaster as you can cut that off. Doesn't melt anything though, foam or plastic, and sticks solid forever.
I think you can get white gorilla glue as well sop it blends more if you have a white or light colour plane.
sorry for late reply but got sorted with gorilla glue planes all done but weathers lousy for maiden flight
right took it for its maiden flight was a lovely day bit cold but very calm, first flight hand launched , trimed her out few circuits of the field I fly at looks great and flys like a dream,landed had a smoke changed the batteries for a fresh pack and away we go again this time full throttle tried for a loop but it defo needs a bigger esc and a 4s battery as it just cudnt make it over the top,knocked the throttle back to half way and down she comes opened the throttle again just as she levels off,guess wot happens the wing rips clean off and floats down to earth were the wheels come off on inpact ,the fuselage is not to bad but defo needs some good glueing to fix .so that's my job over Christmas to patch her up and get a bigger esc and 4 s batteries,but it was fun while it lasted
were the wing screws into a bit of plastic it looks like the polystyrene around the plastic gave way as the plastic is still screwed onto the wing,looks like I will have to reinforce that part with some balsa or plastic,never recorded it but hopefully when its repaired will try to get a video of it in flight
