N5C BUILD QUESTION
(1/1)
Scooterpilot:
The tail boom supports. Do you epoxy the ends of do are you using CA?
Thanks
Darren Lee:
I'm sure either would work but I always use medium CA. Most guys will recommend pinning the supports as well.
Scooterpilot:
thanks

Hi Chuck,
I usually use epoxy and rough up the ends of the carbon a little with sandpaper, makes a better bond.
I also get some M3x10 button head bolts and drill though the carbon rod and install the bolts, it's a bit of a belt & braces approach but i never have any issues with the supports.
Hope this helps!
cheers
Ross

I screwed up when using regular CA. Somehow I did not notice that one of the boom supports turned out to be a bit longer and no way of redoing it because CA dries in mere seconds. So I would use epoxy next time. At least you have a little bit of time until it dries and make sure they're same length.
