I use resin: 20 minute Finish Cure. It's way cheaper than an equal amount
of CA.
Nobody at SmAC got smacked by an elevon! My lightweight Boomerang probably
hurt alot less than Tim Cone's "Das Brut". What a wicked fast wing that
was!
Everyone's seen the elevons I made and no one's said anything but "Cool,
good idea" until now. I can't take credit for the idea, I got it straight
from Frank Cavazos.
Cheers,
Nathan Woods

Hi Guys
I have heard twice now of glassing the Elevons. Are you using resin or just
contact cement? As I understood the general rules written for foamy
combat, no fiberglass is allowed. What is the consensus on this? It is a
safety issue also. Some have buried things in the nose to keep it together
also. Talk to the pilots who got nailed at SMAC.
