Default RE: Redwing 50cc Sboch


ORIGINAL: Tseres
I opened up the landing gear bag and I noticed right away that there were 4 nuts missing to mount the wheel pants with. THere also wasn't any flat washers to put between the gear and the head of the bolt or the nut. They may be in the other bag but I haven't opened it up yet cause I don't want things rolling all over the place.
Tom,

When I assemble ARFs, I normally have one of those $2 plastic boxes with dividers that you can pick up from discount stores and empty ALL the accessories bags into different compartments.
I find this easier and I can also at a glance see which bolts, nuts, washers etc I will use and which I will replace.

Regardless of the quality of included accessories, I have a habit of discarding any bolts and nuts thaqt are for high-stress areas like Landing Gear, Engine Mounts etc and replace with quality high-tensile bolts I source from a local hardware supplier
