Any of you smart customerizers have any ideas on a good way for me to mount a wing on my Chaparral 2E and 2F lexan bodies? What adhesive is suitable for lexan. No it wont last long but it'll be fun for a few crashes . mj

super glue will leave like a stain so i use a dab of hot glue that can just peel off when your done and wont damage the paint

I used super glue on a few Ferrari 333SP bodies. I cut slits in the rear bodywork, cut wing struts from some .025 lexan, stuck them through the slits and glued them from the inside. Then I glued the ing to that.

EDIT: Venitian blind slats make excellent wing material. ;)

Expoxy bonds everything

I seen this on the TV says perfect for those hobby projects.

I've run into problems with epoxy heating up during the curing process and deforming lexan on me.

double back tape... ?

Go to a store and by anything you need in clamshell packaging. :thumbsup:

Plastic blind slats. You could use metal but it would be heavier and harder to glue.

...and he does! :) rr
