They are locktited in. But not with permanent red. Both of mine made a cracking sound as they broke loose but came out fine. Heat from a soldering gun also defeats really stuck locktited fasteners as heat breaks locktite down. I did not need to heat these but heat is the only answer on red permanent locktite. The cheap Turnigy drivers have never failed me either.

For me the minimum settings were more than enough. Looking forward to flying this again.My YouTube RC videos:

TI - Ok got my Robart wheels in and was ready to swap them out but wanted to check with you first. The set screw at the bottom of the strut shaft holding the axel seems really, really tight. I looked in the manual to double check the screw size to avoid stripping it but find nothing. Experience tells me if something is extraordinarily tight or doesn't give under reasonable force, extra force is not the solution. Do you think they may have put some Loctite or threadlock on the screw or something? Any suggestions?

Question for you weathering gurus...
I want to weather mine...Giving it some kind of light, light "dusting" to appear it's been in the Pacific without overkill. I still want the stock paint to shine through more or less but a calculated "dusting" which would give it a realistic weathered effect without going overboard and changing the tone completely. Does that make sense? I am exploring both airbrush and compressed charcoal options....My YouTube RC videos:

Thanks for digging it out but I was actually referring to the navy blue you painted the canopy about half way back in the Queen thread. You mentioned at the time that it was a tamiya navy blue. Just wondering if that navy blue is a good match for the mrc navy blue on the bubble canopy Corsair. I can go back to the thread and find it if you like...you posted pictures of the newly painted canopy at the time and somebody else mentioned it would be better to paint the inside first?
