the airframe. Make a pencil mark about 3”
from one end of the GLR E-bay Coupler. That
should leave about 3” on the other end. The
GLR E-Bay is ready for epoxy, but we will
need to come back to this step in a moment.
Right now we need to partially assemble the
GLR E-Bay.
3.
On one bulkhead, insert an eyebolt in the
middle hole, and secure it with a washer and
nut on the backside. Make it tight and secure it
with a small drop of epoxy. Do the same with
the other bulkhead.
4. Secure the all-thread
to the other
¼
” hole us-
ing a locknut on the eye-
bolt side, and a nut on
the backside, as is seen in
the photo. The all-
thread, with the lock nut
on it will stick out about
¾
” from the bulkhead.
Add a
⅛
”quick-lock ring
to the eye bolt and attach
one section of the GLR
Kevlar® Shock Cord to
the quick lock, screw
down and tighten. Set
these pieces aside and we
will get back to adhering
the GLR E-Bay to the Forward (24”) airframe.
5. Apply Aeropoxy to the 3” side of the GLR
E-bay Coupler (but stay about
½
” away from
the pencil mark). Insert the GLR E-bay Cou-
pler into the 24” long section of airframe;
but
only to the pencil mark. Do NOT apply ep-
oxy to the inside of the airframe and make
sure that any epoxy that is on the edge of the
GLR E-Bay Coupler is
cleaned off so that the
bulkheads will fit flush
against the GLR E-bay
Coupler.
Hold upright or
vertical until epoxy sets.
Do not turn upside down
or some epoxy will seep
into the upper airframe.
Tape GLR E-bay Coupler
in place if necessary to
prevent it from dropping
out while it is setting. Let
it set (upright) before han-
dling it
further.
Using alcohol and a paper
towel, clean up any excess ep-
oxy. Do not leave any extra
epoxy on the GLR E-Bay or it
will not seat properly between
the two body tubes. Let set
until completely cured.
6. Slide the bulkhead at-
tached to the all-thread
