                  What epoxy can I get for all ply work and foam work? I have some uhu por for foam, epoxy wise, is there anything I can get from b and q etc... that is strong, that is foam safe also?

                    Don't know about B&Q, surely there's a LMS nearby ? I use Pacer Z- Poxy for all types of foam and hard wood and ply fixing, absolutely brilliant stuff. Sticks most plastics, metals and glass fibre too.
                    Oh and on my MX2, which I bust in half twice at the rear cano bulkhead and once at the front end I used hot glue and it was a perfect fix for the foam and ply used for the repair.

                    Trex 450 SEV2.
                    Trex 450 SEV2, hack, freeby, but getting expensive. Binned the bu**er !
                    Trex 550 V2. Adrenalin ( brown kind )
                    mCPX, better than a Phoenix anyday.
                    Several planks, gathering dust.

                    Brains and thumbs work okay, but not at the same time.

                      Think you'll need a good run way for the Habu mate :)

                      Get a fast model like the Roo 1st though...

                          Any epoxy will glue the MX2 foam, it sets real strong. Hot glue is good for servo and electronics mounting.

                          If you want a Habu (they are good) get one soon as it looks like they are now discontinued. I use 4s 3600 and 4s 4000 and get the same fly time. You will need 5s for more performance.
