While removing a tight A10-3t motor, I pulled out the engine mount!
It had been glued in using epoxy, the only glue I thought would best adhere the BT-5 tube to the plastic Birdie interior.
On the left is the interior of the Birdie. On the right is the engine mount with the epoxy still at the top.
I went to my all-purpose glue for adhering plastic to a body tube, Beacon Fabri-Tac. I left the old epoxy in place.
A bead of Fabri-tac was placed inside the top interior of the Birdie.
The engine mount assembly was pressed into the Birdie making sure the launch lug was slipped between the ribs at the top of the body.
I let the glue dry before giving the engine mount a good tug. The bond seems strong!
It was loaded with an A10-3t for an upcoming launch.
