Pretty much homeless. My location varies from SW A
I asked this question once before (I think on Oshkosh 365), but at the time I thought all my metal pieces would be secured with bolts as well as epoxy. Unfortunately, it appears that I do have an area that requires a metal tube to be bonded to wood. From what I can tell, it will only be there for support. There should be no torque involved.

Anyway, the plans say to use EA 9410. I've been using T88 for everything else and would like to continue to do so if possible (it just makes things easier). So, all that being said, what do the epoxy experts say?

BTW... This is for the Mitchell Wing U-2 rudders. I'm attaching a picture of the pertinent part of the plans so folks can check the actual application. The tube in the near the spar in the forward portion of the rudder is part in question.

Thanks for the help!!
