<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After all this discussion about the material in
this type of lay-up I just had to chime in. I think the guys
at AeroSlave have got it nailed then. The use of coremat as part of the
composite lay-up seems to have been a good choice of materials.
Everything I have glued into my two airplanes is glued with C/A except for the
landing gear plate(epoxy) This stuff takes to C/A like a duck to
water. When used with C/fiber or glass it proves to be a very stiff
lay-up. Their new Symphony that has a huge fuse cross section shows
the advantages of using this material. In my Aries I have no formers
its that stiff(using the c/fiber layup). </FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Be real careful with anything you glue to the inside of the fuse.
We have had many an experience with things falling off. Bobby almost
crashed once when his wing adjuster came unsecured in flight. I've gotten into
the habit of throwing a little CF chop around the critical spots like that to
secure them better. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Bob Kane

PM<BR>> Subject: Re: Temptation<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Jeff, the TAVS
type of composite often places a<BR>> polyurethane semi rigid foam
between two layers of<BR>> fairly light glass cloth. Glass is easily cut
into<BR>> because it is quite thin. Once you break into the<BR>>
urethane foam, cutting goes very fast. Polyurethane<BR>> foam makes the
fuses both rigid and light. Composite<BR>> ARF's products first
introduced this construction<BR>> type to the modeling public with their
large 40% TOC<BR>> planes. It's a great method for building
models.<BR>> Rest assured the Temptation fuse is very strong.<BR>>
Believe me I know. I have stressed mine to max and<BR>> expecting to pick

The gear mounting plates Guerin/Davis et al have<BR>> designed in, are
the most robust in the business.<BR>> The European manufacturers should

<BR>> When you scratch the glass with the scriber of the<BR>> height
gauge, be careful not to cut the glass. <BR>> <BR>> MattK<BR>> I
cut the hole for the wingtube on my Temptation<BR>> tonight. That is
really wierd how stiff the fuse is,<BR>> even to squeeze it, but how easy
the dremel sanding<BR>> wheel ate through. I have a set of vertical
verniers<BR>> that I used to scratch a horizontal line at the<BR>>
proper location, and it easily broke through the<BR>> gelcoat. Not like
all my previous fiberglass planes<BR>> at all.<BR>>
