Champ 85 insert for bushing

Post by granpa »

I have ordered the 1/16x1/16 magnets for the balsa cowl. My question is does the bearing need something slicker to rest in rather than the balsa?
If so what and where can I get it? Thank you all once again!

With the removable cowling you are making , I would want the prop bearing or thrust button to fit snugly in the balsa cowling. You could wrap a piece of scotch tape around it, if need be. It shouldn't fall out when the rubber band unwinds completely.

Thanks for the advice. Why not spot it with a dab of CA?

CA should do the trick. I like using silicone RTV to glue smooth plastic parts to something.
