RE: The Newbie Tip Thread
CGR,
Used your tip just last night, installing servo extensions for the new Mini-Funtana. Worked like a CHARM! Thanks! [sm=thumbup.gif]
Here's a tip I learned back in my MRR days...and I still use it now with planes.
Always have handy a small magnet. Fridge magent, old mini-speaker, whatever. In my case, I carry an old telephone speaker in my flight box. Swipe anything metal across the magnet 5-6 times, it'll magnetize that object for a few minutes. I typically use this trick when I need to adjust/remove/tighten a very small servo screw in the bowels of the aircraft...just run the jewler's screwdriver over the magnet a few times, and presto...no fear of dropping the gnat sized screw into airplane-hatch-oblivion.
