Pete,

I'm talking about simple rules. I've had about 15 of these things over the years, and several different setups depending on where I got it or who put it together. The ones I've built myself are all pretty much built the same way, and that's with the blocks. Re the connector, I can't speak to Ralph's experience, but I can tell you that those are on every single one of mine, including the ones that have flown on P-160s and K-170s. They're fine.
