Scratch building a Ryan’s Rebel stick style R/C airplane:
Episode 21: Installing T nuts to secure the engine to the firewall is far from rocket science. But T nuts, or blind nuts have a nasty habit of coming loose over time, and on a routine removal of an engine, sometimes when you go to reinsert the bolt to secure the engine, the dang T-nut will fall back into the compartment and be a pain to retrieve and reinstall. By using the method I show you in this video, you can possibly avoid this scenario and be on your way. Gorilla Glue is our friend… embrace it.
