I would use epoxy. That piece takes a lot of pressure to put the stand in. Once the hull halves are bonded together you're screwed if the glue comes lose on that ring.

What I did is: I didn't glue the part # 9 to the stand.

It fits tightly enough that it stays in and seems to put less stress on the lower hatch part. Also, that way you can take the Sub off the stand and fly it around the room..Man, you never glue a cool toy to a stand,..how can you play with it that way?...lol

I think he means the large ring with the fins,not the hatch.I used Testors tube glue.

J B WELD......I used it all over the sub ...great stuff:thumbsup:

It was late...lol I just used Testors liquid glue, I love the stuff. I did leave the #9 part loose, it fits tight and that way less stress is transmitted to the lower finned ring.
And of course the playing thing still applies....

Correct.

Maybe read slower...
I glued the finned thingy into the bottom of the sub. I did however, not glue the "D" shaped part that the arm of the stand uses to mate with the sub. It's removable that way. and also put less stress on the finned lower piece...I have to explain again,and I'm driving over to show you..lol

Huh? :p

When I did my dry fit of the sub parts, I had the same concern about possible stress on the lower docking ring too. I plan to jam in a bead of epoxy around the part once it's glued in. A good fillet of epoxy ought to keep it secure.
