Fuselage May 2008 Updates May 8, 2008 Throttle Bracket.... - 2.0 hrs Painted the throttle bracket and installed. Pain in the rear to get the rubber pulled back and installed in such a tight area. Removed the plug dehydrators and took the beads home to cook in the oven. The 2 pics show the different colors of before the oven and after. Once the beads cooled off they were even worse. I ended up just using new stuff from the can I bought from Spruce. They are crystal form instead of bead but they should work. Reinstalled plugs after the change.
