Help the dummy!!!

Was cleaning the time machine and hit one of the VGs... Well it came off. So the question is.... What do I use to glue it back on????? Dumb question I know...

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

In theory, you would have a record of what kind of VG's were installed in your log book and could review the instructions.

I would super glue them but that might cause your airplane to crash into a school for children of personal injury lawyers since your airplane is type certified. I used poly-tac to glue them on my fabric, but that doesn't help you.

This stuff works for the tin can airplanes.

Loctite makes great adhesives, 330 is what some VG manufacturers specify.

 

[Twin_Flyer]

Thanks guys... I know it may have seemed like a dumb question, but it was all about the corrosion side of things...

 

[RalphInCA]

Boy, that IS a dumb question. It's a time machine! Go back in time and don't knock it off.

Sheesh. Do we have to tell you everything?

Hey, I was truthful and I hadn't thought about that option...

But, you didn't mention corrosion till later.... whole new ball game.

It's that the one thing we all fear?

 

[RalphInCA]

Actually, I fear mountains popping up in front of me more than anything else. I have been told that the Sierras in California are still growing. This worries me.

 

[Twin_Flyer]

So doesn't it create problems when you attach a mountain to the wing of your plane???

 

[Twin_Flyer]

Update - I tried the Loctite that was recommended. It worked great and it's easy to use. Thanks everyone...

I think he means he didn't want to use an adhesive that would cause corrosion, not that corrosion caused it to fall off.

What does the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness say?

One of the reasons I never spent the money to add VGs to my Baron.

I think we're talking about two different verticals....

More things I don't want on my airplanes.

But it's everything you want.

Nauga,
and his musical stylings

 

[Twin_Flyer]

Is this place turning into the Red Board???

Don't know. Haven't been on the red board in years. I've been flying all day and now I'm in a hotel bar and I'm a bit intoximacated.

Flying piston singles will do that so you. Stay away!!!!!!
