    When to use flox?

    having built a fisher dakota hawk i have a little practical experience on this. i found i hardly ever needed flox for joint filler. a better bet is to fit the wood better. fwiw i would NEVER try to glue a piece of wood [usually a gusset] to a glue joint until after i had FILED the area flat...

    Fisher Flying Products for Sale

    fwiw, i had a lot of rides in a dakota hawk before and after the wing was rebuilt and the flaps removed. anyone who has seen the underside of a hawk wing would admit that the flap area must leak air as much as a 2 car garage flung thru the air. AMAZING ! the new wing, without the...
