I have material on the leading edges of both wings. I've been using a heat gun with a tongue depressor that has been squared off and sharpened on sander. The project is slow - I can removed 1/4 to 1/2 wide strip with each pass. The wood does not scratch the aluminum but there is a very thin adhesive film still on the wing. I plan to use MEK outside later this spring to remove the residuals. (It's -10 here in MN this morning.) The archives haven't yielded any good suggestions... Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I'm on a couple .... use a length of PVC pipe and just roll the plastic up on it. I used a piece of 1/2" and just rolled one piece on top of another ..... no heat. You do have to lift an edge to get it started though.

Then, I ran out of 206 hardener... I still have not been able to find some 0.50" UHMW block for the pin retainers. Any suggestions?

I simply drilled a 1/4" hole above the servo screw hole and added a little black plastic bushing. Attached is a picture.
