Thank you so much for the detailed and specific info about FO. Ahh, the reason for my trouble was using superglue. I've tested several adhesives for holding an FO in a hole, like Plastic kit cement, or acetone cement. But none of them are quite good. At last, I chose superglue for quick drying but that was a problem. I've never imagined using that old-school white bond. Ahh, I lost many hours for that. Also, your explanation about the strands and edges makes sense. Academic and cristal clear.
This is one of the precious moments I'm so happy to commit to this forum. Getting very valuable knowledge and techniques from skillful and experienced comrades.
Again, thank you so much for your kind info and advice.
I had learned the hard way as well that superglue ruins the fibers
I had resorted to white glue, but also, I have been using silver metal tape to tape things down in some cases. It is basically like aluminum foil with a sticky side. The other benefit is to a great help to light block, or prevent light bleed in areas as well as reflect light inside
apart from that mishap, love what you are doing!

Oh, Treadwell-san! Thank you so much for stopping by.
It was almost 15 years ago. That then you gave me some good advice.
I'm dated by now, but I try to keep up my enthusiasm for model building this time again.
Looks great, Katsu-san! It does look real.
Thank you so much, always, Lewis-san.
"Electro Magneto Catapult"
Thank you so much for the kind comment. joberg-san!

Thank you so much for the pleasant comment, Tom-san.
Thank you so much, Analyzer-san.
And thanks for the info. It is interesting.
You mean you use the tape like this?

Launching bay
Test fitting
As a starting point for considering the internal design, I came up with a design that should have a demagnetizing effect, similar to an anechoic chamber, because this space is where electromagnetic waves are emitted when launching the crafts it harder for enemies to detect the magnetic anomaly.
I will plant many tiny lights here.

So, like the original Tempest, will this one have auxiliary craft?

Thank you for asking, Tom-san and I'm glad you remember that tiny crafts.
It is a good and timely question. I'm just thinking about the aux. aircraft now.
I will make some before I put those deck modules in the hull housing.
