Adhesive for Torque Tube bearing attachment in plastic housing

[eluminous]

Hey Flyers,

I am putting my Whip G tail back together now and was curious to know what adhesive MA use to stick the torque tube bearings into their plastic bearing housings? I did speak with both Josh and Jeff from MA this morning about removing the lower pinion bearing (yeah, every single bearing in the clutch stack was notchy) however, I forgot to mention the torque tube bearing thing...

I was thinking maybe just a drop of ordinary, medium CA? What do you think?

I have always preferred using a zip tie on the tail rod supports on all my helis. It makes dis-assembly and re-using the supports easier.

Thanks Tom,

But I was just wondering, did you mean to put this reply on the other thread of mine https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=552221? In that one I was asking about the control guide supports.

If not, could you elaborate on how you use the piece of zip tie to hold the bearing (part # 0319) in it's plastic cup holder (part # 131-80)?

Apologies if my description of the parts were misleading.

Sorry, I read the post wrong, I do not use any glue on the TT bearings to the plastic housing. The normal light press fit has been enough.

Thanks Tom,

But no, I think It was my poor description. I should have said "Bearing Cup".
