Album info

This album post was prompted by a comment I read on an album by Jorge Ferriera, "Heinkel He 219", regarding cyano & lead.

I've been happily ballasting with lead fishing weights and cyano since I got back into building, but I was pretty horrified at the comment by Spanjaard, " i hope you didn't use cyano to glue it.... i have heard some really horrible about the reaction of cyano and lead over time"

"OH NO!!!!!" ?

Did a few searches over the last couple of days and this is what I found:

uschivdr.com/product..lexible-nose-weight/

forum.ipmsusa3.org/topic/4448-nose-weights/

cs.finescale.com/fsm..ts/f/2/t/175324.aspx

cs.finescale.com/fsm../p/52343/542868.aspx

Plenty of food for thought, isn't there? No more cyano for me, I'll be using a combination of blu-tac, epoxy and white glue from here on out!!?
