| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 19-Jun-17 22:10 |  | | Views : 336 | | These are the results of the GLUING EXPERIMENT. Medium Gap-Filling CA super glue (10 second), works on both plastic to plastic, and balsa to plastic. 5 minute Epoxy glue only works on balsa to plastic, and not on plastic to plastic. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 19-Jun-17 22:06 |  | | Views : 338 | | GLUEING EXPERIMENT : The instructions said to try your glue, (I don't have the "Sigment" glue), on test scraps first, as some glues "adhere" and some glues do not "adhere" at all, while others soften the plastic excessively, and suggested to wait overnight. I used 5 types of glues on strips of plastic to plastic, and balsa to plastic, clamped up with clothes pins, and I waited 30 hours before checking the results. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 19-Jun-17 03:59 |  | | Views : 385 | | SIG CUSTOMAIRE (not Cabinaire) KIT CONTENTS - the kit comes with 2 sheets of 1/16" X 3" X 12" laser cut parts with small bridges that are easy to cut and sand off, and one sheet of 1/16" X 3 1/4" X 9" die stamped (crushed) parts - I would rather have had it just as printwood, instead of die cut, and cut out all of the parts myself - I had to cut out a couple of the solid wingtip parts out of fresh balsa. The parts labeling diagrams were poor, as not all of the parts were even labeled (but it wasn't too hard to figure it out, when comparing the part over the plan). There is also a plastic sheet of 0.008" thick, thin flyweight shinny white vac-formed parts - wheel halves, wheel pant halves, that are all marked as inner and outer, and that all of the outer shells slip over the inner shells, butting up against a definite "step" for perfect fit, and a one piece Cowling with attached Dummy Motor. |
