Glue

[aubrey048]

Nail polish remover is best on glue-covered hands. The same happens to me when I use it on balsa. I suggest you use it and shave off the leftover glue with an exacto-knife. That was my strategy.

Does CA loosen with humidity? I sort of doubt it, but that's the reason my partner suggested for my relatively decent regionals copter breaking at the joints from pressure , and I don't have much of an explanation.
...Maybe it was the rubber that was affected? Even though it didn't have as many winds as I have put in before, my partner said it was getting really really hard to handle (very tight).

It wouldn't be the CA loosening with humidity...

The wood itself swells, especially with something like balsa, and wood swelling is not good, no matter what. It happens to a lot of things, like my violin. I left it in high humidity, and part of the bow swelled enough to break. Which goes to reason that it could easily happen to a softwood helicopter.

The rubber wasn't THAT bad, just seemed tighter because it was the first time I wound 1/8, and it didn't seem to take more than 850 without problems.

Lol whoops. That's what it soundd like to my sleep-deprived brain, I guess.
Wait... I knew that! Why'd I even bother asking? -fail-

Don't worry about it... there may be a solution, keeping rice in the helicopter box

[thewinner]

Yeah, putting rice and/or silica gel in your helicopter box definitely helps with humidity problems. Just make sure the rice doesn't slosh around and puncture the covering material.

The really annoying part is Chia and kjhsscioly, we know for a fact that it is going to be very humid in come april 16th

[thewinner]

I'm in New Jersey, so luckily that doesn't bother me very much.
By the way, what kind of boxes are you using to store your helicopters? I am using a simple cardboard box, but that apparently doesn't work very well, as I broke 5 out of 6 helicopters at least once...

For some reason I don't remember humidity having been a problem for Wright Stuff...

Grammar Nazi!!!

Getting back on topic, i'm sure if we all build safely and keep our stuff dry with rice, we should be fine.
