Correct adhesive to use to attach tail wheel assembly.

I know the Schleicher booms are strong, they are laid up with carbon and two layers of Kevlar. Meh. Kevlar has a modulus so low that when it's combined with carbon it contributes absolutely no strength or stiffness until after the carbon breaks. When used as the inner ply, it's great for post-crash retrieves and repairs since the parts self-realign when the Kevlar snaps back to its original length. --Bob K.

Weldbond works quite well and is easy to work with and non-toxic. Needs
clamping - weight of tailboom is enough, plus generous application of tape wrapped around tailboom. Remember to put a wide fabric tape around skid/fuselage seam, especially front, to keep grass from prying apart.
