sssooooo my 2.6" ASP WAC Corporal arrived today - WOO HOO!!!!
The kit is designed for 1/4" lugs, but I want to fly this of a 10/10 rail so I also purchased rail buttons and conformal guides. To be honest, I am not sure which is better for this one. I really like the buttons, however, with the tail cone it will be hard to mount the aft button. I have ideas of drilling the body tube and tail cone, but as the tail cone is balsa, I am concerned that it is too weak to support the button (even if I drill, fill with thin CA, and then clean out the hole).
Would some warmed laminating epoxy penetrate the balsa enough to add strength? If so, I will likely go that route.
Thoughts on which to use?
