the radio box is now cut out and a channel for the rudder control rod is grooved out and the control line is installed with a new piece of foam (blue strip) glued in the channel, the tube will only be glued at the radio box end so it may be removed or replaced at a later time should it be necessary. Once the radio box is shaped and glued in place the external sheeting can be done. The transom and rudder bracket are installed to determine where to install the control rod, and extreme caution needs to be exercised when using Gorilla glue due to it's expanding properties. I thought I was being cautious and ended up with glue coming out one of the blind nut holes and all I could do was pick it out for 1/2 hour with a pin until the threads were clean enough to thread the bolt in.
