websherpa Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 So after what felt like eternity I've finally got my Kymera flying again after crashing it on it's maiden flight and breaking a leading edge spar. I put everything back together and had it flying sort of flying today. The first 10 min at my spot the wind was O.k. then it dropped to 2-5 m.p.h. for the remaining 2 hours until sunset so I flew my ITW swift. Smiles all around. When putting my Kymera together I didn't bother with gluing the end nock in place since the fit seemed snug and if I break the Nock I won't need to replace the spar or vice versa if I break the spar. Anything wrong with this logic? The broken spar had the factory Nock glued in place so I wasn't able to re-use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHBKF Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Being a newbie, with little authority, I don't see anything problematic with that approach. My Prism 4D has loose end nocks by design. I don't think the end of the tube will be cracked by impact with it loose but that may be the thought. Some parts I only lightly glue so they are held in place but can be loosened with a sharp whack if needed. Others will have more insight I'm sure.

John Barresi Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ya, if they're "slide on" nocks, a strip of tape should be enough to hold it during normal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
websherpa Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 The Nocks I have are better described as slip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
