High spirits we have: gravity we flout.



Recently discovered an awesome trick to repair easystar. If you want to glue to two surfaces, soak a cotton ball in water and wipe the two surfaces, while the surfaces are wet apply CA as you normally do and press the two surfaces together for 10~20 seconds. Blow away any excess water/CA oozing out of the joint. Thats it, if you align the surfaces properly, you'll have a seamless and strong join as if it was never broken. Don't use tooth picks if you are doing this because it is very difficult to align the joint with toothpicks between them and you wont have that much time with this. Anyways the joints are strong enough without toothpicks. 
Please do this in a ventilated area as the reaction results in some nasty fumes. The reaction is  exothermic and may heat up the joint a little, but its not a problem.
Also note that i have only tried this with fevikwik 203.

Shiny paint makes Easy star look a Sun-like-star.

Thanks for the Link Atul_PG

That's a good idea, Cyanoacrylate always sets faster in presence of moisture, It's a good idea to spray some water on surfaces for faster and better results. This will also avoid exothermic reaction by the glue. I have read some where else on this forum, one Rcer has used refrigerated  Cyanoacrylate to stick Foam without getting burns.

Another interesting fact about Cyanoacrylate, Octyl Cyanoacrylates are also used in bonding skin and different Medical applications.

I used FEVIFIX all purpose adhesive from the makers of fevicol which is just like QUICKFIX  adhesive and it worked great on my Easystar. It came in 8m.l, tubes and cost is Rs. 7-00, per tube. It is not CA but looks like Medium viscosity CA and cures in approximately in 10 minutes . The bond is rock solid when cured. I used it on all surfaces of the Easystar. Applied a thin layer of the glue on both fuselage halves and joined together and secured with rubber bands till the glue cures. Used normal CA to attach the control horns and pushrod outer tubes.

Dear Mr Rao

Is this Quikfix the glue on which it used to be written and may still be "Joins everything except broken hearts" ?

Jitender, yes the quickfix is same - "Joins everything except broken hearts" difficult to find but yes still available.
P.S. Wish some one came up with a glue to join broken hearts

In the instruction manual it was clearly mentioned to not use epoxy glue or white glue.

I used this one for a FunJet.  It is medium viscosity, gap filling and sets in about 15 to 20 seconds so there is no real need for kicker/accelerator !

(Hard/how?) contact any Airtel/BSNL OFC cable (Fiber optic) repair technician as ask for the support tube packed along with the OFC Cables. The have a 1-2mm hole and are much better than what MPX provides, slightly heavy too.

No BSNL or Reliance folks around ?  Why not just walk into an exchange and ask Smiley

If you get in touch with serious data networking guys (people who setup server data centers), they should also have stuff like this.

Have you applied tape or shrink wrap on the motor before gluing in. If yes then it should be easy to get it out using a paper cutter.

Don't worry about loosing it, the only way to loose it is to crash it somewhere and then not be able to find  Smiley
I'm not sure about using hot water, but you can do one of the two:
Second is that you can apply few drops of acetone on the joint to loosen it and pull the motor out.
Simply cut the motor out of foam using the smallest (thinnest) paper blade you can find. Push the blade between motor and slowly start cutting along the motor can making sure you don't lose lots of foam.

SLS thanks a lot of the suggestions Hats Off, I am going to try in the following order:
1 - Try with glue remover (acetone). Can you please tell where to find it? Can we find in any shop?
2 - Try hot water if it works.
3 - Cutting the motor out of foam..But seriously I dont want to go this solution  Bang Head Bang Head

I have never used acetone. But i'm sure you'll find in cosmetic shop, it is used as nail-polish remover.
Believe it or not cutting the motor out is the easiest.
Hot water thing I wont recommend if you are new to electrics. Plus I am not sure if it would work, but if you decide to do it make sure you remove all other electronics from the plane.
