No screws at all.  Clamped in place and left overnight, the only way you can remove the Servo is to cut around the bead of adhesive with a sharp knife and then pry the servo off with a flat screwdriver blade or something similar. Any other way will just destroy the ply plate.  I am sure this will produce some criticism, but I have NEVER had one come loose. It is far stronger than small screws into a Basswood or Spruce strip.

I generally don't do this technique on bigger faster airplanes but sport models can get away with this.

I am not familiar with all of their products, but they may have something. They have a 2-part mix but last I checked it was not available in the USA. __________________ Never made a mistake that a block of balsa or a sanding block couldn't fix! Built...still counting!

I destroyed the cockpit trying to remove it to reuse it in another fuse after a crash.  We also used this for internal formers in glass fuselages (except structural formers like the firewall). It's good stuff and holds tenaciously.  The only drawback is it's viscosity (thickness) makes it difficult to glue small parts. __________________   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search
