In my case, I have two good examples where Mr M is very succesful and so far not so succesful:

1) During the building phase, I decided my strobo power unit will last for ever (that means let us say 1000 flight hours or more). That was inbuilt inside the fin w/o the access panel and it was glued very hard there. Today, I have an access panel and there are two power units now: one broken which is impossible to remove out and one operational one.

2) During the building phase, I decided my trim motor unit will last for ever. That is assembled w/o the nut plates. So far it has worked fine, also through scary strikes or St. Elmo´s fires – only the trim display and the relay unit was destroyed then.

Door Mechanics: no access panels – totally inbuilt and they will last for ever (that is why I am only person who is allowed to use the door handles of RT´s when closing the doors and shooting the bolts outward – I feel the necessary power required).



Cheers, Raimo Toivio

AH HAHAHA!!! LOL. So true!!! Murphy is a very strong force. This is for Jims statement Smile ......and this is for Murphy Razz

I am still wrestling with this decision as well, and keep trying to think of a way to restore more strength so as not to have to bond...such as large overlaps, and a sliding fit with overlapping glass used as bonds on the sides, but unattatched (or something like that).
No conclusions yet...sorry. Just felt like piping in with interest in the subject, even with the lack of gameplan and to hack on ol' Murph Smile

Tony-

You need to keep our friend Murphy in mind. "If it can't possibly break, it will." On the other hand, if you put in a couple of nut plates and screw them on, you will never need to remove them. This is the second corollary to Murphy's Law. "Any part that is easily accessible will not break."

Hi,
I am of two minds whether to screw or bond on my door mech coverplates. Finally, I am satisfied I have done a good job in there, so am wondering whether returning the original strength might have some merit. I realize to redux them in place creates quite a problem if I need to get in there, but in reality what is the chances. Any advice much appreciat   &nbs========================

Wow Raimo, I am glad that you guaranteed the new strobo unit will last
forever, by making it removable. That could have been a continuing series
there, LOL

While being impeccably careful, Murphy pulled a heavy drill bit out of the
(loosening) tightener on my drill, and 'kerplunked' it right into the middle
of the foam-filled tailplane, where it is impossible to remove without
surgery. A hole drilled in the same cavity which is somewhat bigger than the
bit ought to do to get it out, but I don't want to tell Mr (eyes sweeping
left then right).....'M' that ...(shhhh). That was years ago, its still
there .......and he's been laughing at me the whole darn time during the
rest of the build! Smile I am glad he can have so much fun. Hopefully the
time he spends with his continuing humor on one project will detract him
from success on some of the other ones. He does seem to have a lot of
bountiful time on his hands though, so it is probably just futile. heehee
