I got a lot accomplished tonight. It doesnt look like much but over the last two days I converted the large bolts, 2-56 to square head bolts by turning down the hex head and inserting it into brass plate and soldering. Also made the corresponding nuts much larger to be in visual accuaracy with the prototype. I drilled out larger brass nuts and then turned down the 2-56 nut and soldered them inside. This took hours to do and was not fast.
Then I wanted to get to where my rear boom A frame retaining pins would not get lost, I am tired of taking them in and out already. So I got the photos out and made up the retainer chains and soldered them in. After they fell apart a few times and I lost a part and had to remake it I figured out a technique to get the chains soldered on without the pins falling off the other side. Again, hours of work for two tiny dumb little chains. But they keep the pins from getting lost now.
