Installing the radio and mechanics has proven to be "not fun".

First, I went to change the arm on one of my servos for the steering/rudder and the screw stripped. Finally had to dremel away the stock servo arm so I could get a grip on it with some pliers. Now I gotta find another screw or use CA to attach the servo arm.

Next, Catzilla managed to mangle one of the nylon push rods that controls either the rudder or elevators when I wasn't looking, so now it won't slide in the rod tube any more. I'll have to go out tomorrow and get a replacement one

Finally, these "Z-bends" I'm supposed to make in the control rods are at best "unpleasant". I've had two snap off while bending into place. Plus, my diagonal cutters won't cut through the pushrod wire. I finally had to switch to a cutting head on the dremel and just brute my way through it. Thankfully, I only have a couple more to make for the rudders.

There seems to be some inconsistancy about how rods are being attached. In some places, they have you do the Z-bend thing, in others there is a clevis and in still others some other kind of a mounting aparatus. Why not just do them all the same? *shrug*.
