<div>I did not accomplish any work what so ever this past week end. I spent every minute I could in my Lazy Boy nursing my back. It is already pretty bad and work Friday really tore it up. I have another appointment with the pain management Dr. in a little more than a week. Even if he just gives me more bad news I still can’t wait. The nerve, back and neck pain just stop me from doing anything much of the time,</div><div></div><div>But enough of that.</div><div></div><div>Today I took the day off for a different Dr. appointment and some lab work, so I got a little don on the plane.</div><div></div><div>I think I worked in about 10 or 15 minute stretches the back to the Lazy Boy to rest the back and let the pain levels settle. There were a good number of short sessions today. So all in all I accomplished most of what I wanted.</div><div></div><div>The radio box has been rebuilt a bit, longer and deeper. Now things fit nicely. I even added a Futaba type switch with a JST connector between the battery and the UBEC inside of the radio box. I ran a piece of real small piano wire to the switch and outside the box with a loop on the end to actuate the switch.</div><div></div><div>The UBEC is mounted on the opposite side of the radio box (in board and opposite of exhaust) with double sided foam tape and a zip tie.</div><div></div><div>The hatch for the radio box did not quite clear the servo and power connectors at the radio. And I also wanted a clear window of that part of the Rx so I could see the bind LED.</div><div></div><div>I explained that I was thinking plastic little parts plaster pack might work real good to my wife. She told me to bring her bead box to her. She rummaged around in it for a bit and pulls out a blister pack of little bitty beads. Asked if I thought it might work. Looked about right to me. So the beads went into a little plastic bag. The blister pack got cut to the right size and glued to the hatch. I am thinking I will keep her (wife that is). So the last thing to do to the plane is to iron some cote onto the radio box.</div><div></div><div>I am really, really happy I made some progress today.
One more thing. I bought some 20# braided spectra fishing line. Now to learn to tie some knots. ADOUBLE UNI-KNOT is supposed to be as strong as the line itself. most knots are substantialy weaker than the line.
