Frames.... Though I have been using tape and epoxy with micro baloons a lot.
Sometimes there is no space for the frames.
A good tip is to wrap some kevlar thread around the frame before you glue it
in. Then you can cut the kevlar and use the frame one more time.
If you dont use the kevlar you will either need the epoxy to go around the
edge of the frame or rub up the plastic of the frame a bit so the epoxy
glues well.
I have tested goop a bit on some servos and untill now it has hold up.
Anyhow the most slop in models is that the skin is too soft.
First of all put a layer of carbon or glassfiber in there (preferably carbon
offcourse). Some producers have done this for you.
What really helps is to join the upper and lower skin with some small pieces
of balsa.
Now build that model and get in the air!!!!

Subject: Gluing Servos v.s. Servo Frames
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Looking for opinions from people with more molded glider experience.
Which is better? Gluing a servo directly to the wing using
epoxy/balloon mix or gluing a servo frame and then mounting the servo
in the frame. Does the frame approach cause more slop from servo
movement or is it more secure? I like being able to remove the servo
but I can do that with both approaches (granted it is easier with a
frame). I guess I am looking for the most secure or precise approach.
Thanks
