Next time I go to a hobby shop i'll pick up the starter cone and insert and use a makita drill. Also what do you mean by "prepare yourself for starting the engine". Getting comfortable flipping the prop quickly and being able to quickly move my hand( or the chicken stick) away from the prop. I called the machine shop but no one picked up so I'll just call them in the morning to see if I could go. I think in the afternoon they leave the shop because both times I called after 6pm no one answers but when I call before 10am someone always picks up. I got the rudder glued in but the glue is still wet but it should be dry by tomorrow morning and it looks like the servos arrive tomorrow. Lots of progress being made.
