Hi Jay,



Try Loctite Stick n Seal.  You can get it at Wal*Mart - a 1 oz. tube 

is a couple of bucks.  Look in the paint department.



Good Luck,



Paul

under the leading edge at the left end, and lifts it up. I tried 

sticking it down with contact cement, but it came loose on my last 

flight. Suggestions?

Zenith  recommends Loctite Stick'N Seal Waterproof adhesive P/N 23782 

availabe at Wal-Mart and I have seen it at Home Depot. (Cheaper at Wal-Mart)



I used that and also E6000.  I think the E6000 works better.

Your setup is a little bit different from mine, but I used 3M  

weatherstrip adhesive and have had no problem. Funny thing is, most of  

the pictures of planes I see on the Zenith website don't have the  

rubber going down that far. And this picture ( http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/608/60935.jpg 

  ) of the CH 650 from Oshkosh appears to have the lower end of the  

molding held down with screws. Since there no need for the molding to  

separate from aluminum in that area, I would suggest that you glue  

down the leading edge of the molding to the aluminum so that the  

airflow can't lift it.
