I note the reference in the SB to how quickly Loctite 603 sets up. I've
heard this before and have done some tests w/ aluminum flat stock and
have found 603 to have a working life of over five minutes at 60 +/-
degrees F. This would seem like plenty of time, at least for anyone
like myself who has yet to bond the fuselage top on, to apply a goodly
amount of 603 to the torque tube, spin TP9 a bit to spread a nice film,
and drive the pins home before set up. Seems to me the essence of this
SB is for the loctite bond to take the torsional/impact loads rather
than the drive pins...if that's so, why skimp on the 603?
