Hi Brian,
120 #8 X 1/2, is about the amount I used. No problem to release them
afterwards. I took mine out after two days cure.
600 grams of Araldite sounds right, have some more standing by and make
100 grams batches. I did prepare 8 set of "cryptonite" unmixed. I.e 420,
hardner and flox in separate mixing pots and when needed an assistance
mixed them together.
VERY IMPORTANT: The module must be as far forward as possible. You probably
have to file both the fuselage and the module in order to have them flush.
If not you will have problem when you are installing the FL15
for the flaps. I have 1 mm space between FL15 and the Cockpit module when
flaps are in up position.
Good luck,
Stephan
